This miniature specimen displays an elegant stack of copper crystals one atop the other, showing several habits. The crystals are to 1 cm, and have a natural, shimmering patina that is very distinct for this find. Sharp red cuprite to 5 mm decorates one side of the specimen, providing a novel accent. This is an excellent representation of the combination from this locality, and quite displayable as well. The copper crystals would be fine for Michigan, but they are phenomenal by previous standards for Russian coppers.
