A very sharp, dramatic, arborescent specimen of elegant copper crystals in herringbone form, reaching up from a well trimmed matrix. Excellent display piece for an unusual habit! If we knew the mine name for sure, it would be much more valuable, as well, so for display purposes it is a bargain in that sense - as with many such specimens the mine names have been lost with time.
