A sculptural, excellent and old-time Michigan copper specimen. This showy piece resembles a swan with a long neck and flattened, spinel-twinned copper "wings." Sharp crystals abound on this fine piece, which even includes a copper crystal with cube faces, a rarity. The patina and overall presentation make this a classic Copper Country specimen. I obtained this piece in a major trade with the Seaman Museum and it hails from the famous Hubbard Collection, one of the Seaman backbone collections. Certainly around 100 years old.
