SOLD
An amazingly sculptural copper with cuprite specimen from the Ray Mine. This piece looks just like a poodle with a turned head. The ears, long neck, legs, body and tail are very evident. Very sharp spinel-twins and tetrahexahedral copper crystals with a sparkly, cuprite over-coated patina comprise this very interesting piece. This superb piece comes from a recently uncovered stash from the well-known copper mine, as the specimens were collected in 1959.
