Item Description

A classic and razor sharp "Spinel-law" twinned crystal group of Copper from the famous Ray Mine in Arizona. The overall form and superior crystallization make it a high end thumbnail of this beloved material. The piece has excellent crystallization with incredibly well-defined faces and textbook twinning. It's a complete "floater" as there is no point of crystallization to be seen, and it immediately grabs ones attention as you can see from the photos. The rich old patina just adds to the character of the piece. Great quality Copper, not only for the locality, but for the species in general.
