This is just an incredibly impressive specimen of crystallized copper from Michigan, which came out of the well-known Hauck Collection. It is completely composed of sharp crystals, from top to bottom, with a pretty fan form. It has a really pretty antique patina, which does not come through too well in the photo - the photo make the surface of the crystals look a bit rough, but they are not at all - they have a fine luster. Despite its elegant form, this specimen is very substantial and thick, not just a thin sheet - it is really heavy in the hand.
