This is one of two UNUSUALLY large (for the Itauz) specimens in this update from finds 3 years ago at the Itauz Mine, which was producing at that time crystallized coppers. This one has a totally different look to it from the common style foun dhere at the time of intricate herringbone-like crystals: an elegant, lacy mixture of more robust spinel-twinned crystal habits, including some of the herringbone crystallization seen more commonly from this locality.
