Item Description

Sharp, bright, spinel-twinned and tetrahexahedral copper crystals form a very sculptural and aesthetic flattened two-sided wreath from the famous Ray Mine. The arborescent form of the tightly intergrown crystals is a joy to behold. The bright patina is caused by a mild cleaning. Classic and very showy crystallized copper from the Ted Bartels Collection.
