WOW! Silver CRYSTALS to over 1 cm are here perched in a protected cavity of a HUGE, if somewhat lumpy and rounded, copper crystal! The association is really pretty impressive, and it is much better in person. The bright contrast makes it stand out from most silver/copper combos and there is no intermixing of the two elements as is more common.
