An elegant, folded, leaf-like, spinel-twinned copper crystal from the famous 1970s finds at the Ray Mine of Arizona. This classic form has an interesting "stem," a beautiful, coppery patina and looks good from all sides. This piece was not treated in any way to enhance shine. It's completely natural. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
