A unique, strange and showy modern mining artifact of copper cast after "mine timber." In this case, highly concentrated, copper-rich solutions circulated or dripped through mine tunnels encasing, dissolving and replacing the mine timber. You can easily see the rectangular shape of the timber on end and the layers in the timber. A unique piece of modern mining ephemera. The cast is from the Ray Mine of Arizona. Ex. Dave Stoudt Collection.
