Large mass of finely crystallized Copper from the Pyramid Mining District in Nevada. The color is a good, rich copper with the luster and patina varying in different sections of the piece. Decent Copper from this district is so uncommon that there isn't even a single photo of it in Mindat. Kay acquired this in Tucson back in 1980.
