Copper from Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia [db_pics/mdpics/MD-18706a.jpg]

This specimen, shapeed like a tree, stands on its own and displays well from either side. The exquisite crystallization is a rarity for Tsumeb, especially when combined with the overall aesthetics of the piece. This piece is regarded as one of the single most aesthetic large copper specimens from Tsumeb, which really did NOT produce a heckuva lot of native copper in good crystallized specimens. 10 x 8 x 4 cm
