Item Description
A stunning copper thumbnail specimen featuring sharp spinel-law twins on a base of Copper crystals. While many larger specimens are known from this famous old Soviet-era metals mine, few thumbnails of this quality have been seen. The large crystal is 1 inch long, and doubly-termianted. It is an exquisitely formed piece of naturally machined-looking metal.
