This specimen was from a small but well-studied and known find of crystallized copper with a microlayer of GOLD admixed, that gives it a brassy sheen! It is not crystallized gold, but gold is there. There were not many specimens at all, and you would have a hard time finding another, but here it is. This came to us out of an old collection. 6.7 x 3.5 x 3 cm
