Calcite on Copper wire

Item Description

A highly aesthetic specimen that is not the usual Copper included calcite from Michigan, nor is it the usual copper or the usual calcite - rather, it is its own unique and elegant combination piece! This specimen features an aesthetic 2.7 x 2.5 x 2.3 cm combination of two calcites floating up in the air as if carried away on growing "vines" of native copper. The larger is 1.8 cm tall. They are intricately connected to native copper wires (actually, a wire copper is an elongated crystal, to be technical) and to each other in a very sculptural piece. Old, probably from the late 1800s or early 1900s.
