Cubic copper crystals are RARE from Michigan's Copper Country, but this cute and aesthetic thumbnail is LOADED with elongated, stacked cubes in a dentritic pattern. The black tenorite coating and the bit of quartz add a very nice touch to this very fine and sculptural old-timer from the famous Phoenix Mine. Ex. Seaman Museum Collection.
