Item Description

The Central Mine produced some of the finest crystallized copper specimens from Michigan's historic Copper Country and this is a fine example. Elongated, sharp to slightly corroded, tetrahexahedral crystals form a sculptural, corsage-like, floater, specimen. A bit of darker tenorite coats some of the crystals. This fine floater looks good from either side. Classic, old-time material.
