Just look at how sculptural and elegant this BIG specimen of native copper is! From end to end, it has formed flat, leaf-like crystals along a central spine. There are little spinel twins here and there as well. The specimen can be displayed from either side or either horizontally or vertically. This is a huge piece likely very old.
