SOLD
A finely-articulated, single large crystal of copper, from the Itauz mine in Russia. The mine is now not producing any more copper specimens of this style. It is hoped it will produce specimens of this quality again in the future, as the strip mine widens, but there is no assurance of this. These have taken their place amongst the best crystallized coppers from anywhere, over the past decade.
