Description

This is a special specimen – for my taste, one of the most aesthetic specimens of this type I have seen from this locality. Sharply crystallized, this arrangement of copper crystals has some coppery colour, lots of bright silvery iridescence and a little coating of cuprite-red at the lower left. The two main spear-shaped crystals to the lower right of the tallest spire are razor sharp and just brilliant. A wonderful Canadian copper!
