It was sad to see the copper mining at the Itauz Mine in Russia move on from the zone that was producing these amazing crystallized coppers.This one is just so sculptural and aesthetic, in addition to being very large for the Itauz. It has a beautiful branching form and a nice "antique" patina. Plus, a bit of matrix still attached! Crystallized all over -- just a really fine copper specimen! 6.6 x 4.0 x 1.5 cm
