Check out the gorgeous form of this completely crystallized specimen of native copper from recent finds (2007) at the Itauz Mine! This mine has on-and-off produced some of the greatest crystallized coppers ever seen, in a variety of forms, as the strip mining has come back around occasionally to the specimen-producing zone. This would be a rather large example of this habit and style for the locality.
