A very aesthetic, complete all-around, floater copper thumbnail from Tsumeb. This is just a fine, arborescent arrangement of platy, unique cogwheel-like, copper crystals with light iridescence and a nice patina. Sharp copper crystal clusters, such as this, are rather uncommon from this mine. Ex. Rob Smith Collection, a noted Tsumeb collector.
