Description
The Itauz Mine, at times when the strip mining has come back around to the specimen-producing zone, has produced some of the finest crystallized coppers ever seen, from anywhere. These little floater miniatures are particularly wonderful, with beautiful fins and spinel twins all over them.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
