A superb Copper miniature from the Ojibway Mine in Michigan's Copper country. Rarely do you find Copper, or any other native metal, so well crystallized as on this piece. Cubic is one of the rarest habits of copper, and this old mine is famous for it - was, rather. A fine miniature, this piece has superb quality cubes on it, impossible to miss and not subtle at all. The cubes range up to .6 cm (average about .35 cm), and they have a beautiful reddish-gold patina that is bright, almost iridescent. A great Copper. Ex. Charlie Key.
