A beautiful skull in a smaller, collectible size for more people! Skull sof this size, unless they are robust and lucky, seldom survive the mining and extraction process it seems. This one is as elegant as something called a "skull" of massive copper can get. It sits nicely on its own, with a few small natural extensions (where copper filled adjacent veins in the congolerate lode) acting as props.
