Copper
This locality has, in rare spurts, put out some of the finest copper specimens of the last few decades. This particular piece is unusual for its look of being a concatenated chain of super sharp and 3-dimensional copper crystals stacked one on top of another. I love how the stack has sharp untwinned crystals right to the top an dthen the final summit is a spinel twinned copper, like a crooked star on top of a Christmas tree in appearance. The overall look of the piece is just, very sharp an ddistinct from the normal styles here. It has a natural oxidation patina to it, and has not been cleaned to disturb that subtly graded reddish-brown look (which many copper collectors love). ex Ed David collection by exchange to me.
