Item Description
Exquisite Copper miniature from the famous Ojibway Mine in Michigan Copper country. Rarely do you find Copper, or any other native metal, so well-crystallized as on this piece. Cubic is one of the most rare habits of copper, and this old mine is famous for it - was, rather. A fine miniature, this piece has super quality cubes on it, impossible to miss and not subtle at all! The cubes range up to .6 cm (average about .35 cm), and they have a beautiful reddish-gold patina that is bright, almost irridescent. A great Copper. Valued$1200-1500
