This monstrous copper crystal cluster is, as you can see, LARGE and impressive. It is a "fan" style, with elongated branches growing out from a central winding stalk. However, again, look at the size...you realize this is no flimsy thin copper plate! It is a thick, robust, sculptural, heavy specimen with no fragility at all as with some typical copper fansprays. I personally think its a bargain - the reason being that although its incredible for a museum, few collectors have the space or size of cabinetry to display it! But then, that is why it is all the more significant an dimportant as a historic specimen - few of such size and quality have been rpreserved over time. BOTH SIDES are equally displayable and FULLY crystallized throughout, with minor Baryte and minor zones of oxidized green patina scattered within the copper. Comes with custom lucite display base.
