The Onganja Mine in Namibia is best known for its Malachite pseudomorphs after Cuprite, however, great Copper specimens like this one were also produced in its heyday in the 1960s-1970s. This is a handsome Copper crystal cluster miniature from here consisting of a myriad of crystals dominated by cubes or pseudocubic crystals, modified octahedrons and even some dodecahedrons; the cubic crystals are up to 1 cm. This seems to be floater with no obvious point of attachment and it is in excellent condition. Part of an educational set, with these additional items: Copper ps. Azurite "rose" (SYP25-02b) and Azurite "rose" (SYP25-02c).
