NATIVE Copper

Unknown Owner
This fine branching dendritic aggregate of Native Copper is from the rarely seen locality of Copper Hill mine, near Redruth in Cornwall. With an undoubtedly old patina and lovely shape, this is a very nice Cornish miniature specimen. Ex Malcolm Southwood collection, no. MS 2014.224, and ex Cowan collection. It also comes with an older typed card label, no. 007D, about which nothing is known.
