A gorgeous old Russian copper specimen, distinguished not only by its size and graceful form, but also by color accents from malachite(the green) and cuprite (the reddish tones in the copper) where these minerals partially replaced the copper. Check out the locality: this is not a specimen you see around on the market; it came to us from a Russian scientist, who verified the cuprite and malachite replacement. Said to be 20 years or so old, having been collected at the end of the 1980s.
