Exceptionally well-crystallized specimen of copper, with the largest crystal being a full 1.9 cm! tall. Any larger, and this specimen would be considered a major copper. As it is, it is a major thumbnail. Just look at those crystal faces and that patina. Turn the wrong way in a case, and get comments...
