A sculptural, latticework and box-work of sharp, wine-red cuprite crystals and rust-red cuprite crust coating tetrahexahedral copper crystals with a bit of attached matrix from Arizona. Classic Ray Mine material. This fine piece has a distinctly biomorphic-look, like a dog's head and body. Old-time material from the Robert Sullivan Collection.
