Rich dense clusters of classic dendritic spinel-twinned copper crystals with a nice patina are scattered on all sides of the sculptural small cabinet matrix on this very fine old-timer from the famous Copper Queen Mine at Bisbee. Ex Patricia Barker and Bruce Murphy Collections and comes with a small faded A.E. Foote label dating to the 1800s. Copper Queen copper specimens are seldom on the market and are highly desirable.
