Spinel-twinned Copper & Quartz ex Obodda

Item Description

Copper from the Urals is rare on the market in good quality, and this comes from one of the classic old mining regions, worked as far back as the 1700s. This extreme sculptural thumbnail cutie is composed of arborescent, sharp spinel-twins partially and attractively clothed in quartz. It is complete-all-around, and is very 3-dimensional. It looks great from either side. Undoubtably old-time material, but no proof. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
