Item Description

A sculptural copper with cuprite specimen from the famous Ray Mine. This nifty two-sided piece consists of sharp, tetrahexahedral copper microcrystals with a sparkly, cuprite, overcoated patina partially covering very sharp, arborescent spinel-twins. This excellent piece comes from a recently uncovered stash from the well-known copper mine, as the specimens were collected in 1959!
