Description
A startlingly sharp, freestanding, finely colored dodecahedral crystal of copper stands proudly and isolated on matrix, on this well-balanced thumbnail specimen. The display of the isolated single crystal makes it unusual and noteworthy. This is from the really well-known Ernie Schlichter thumbnail collection, and then to Shields Flynn when Ernie passed away.
