An amazingly sculptural copper with cuprite specimen from the Ray Mine. Bright red, hair-like crystals of cuprite variety chalcotrichite are also evident on this piece. Chalcotrichite is uncommon for this lot and is a real bonus. This specimen looks distinctively biomorphic, like a kneeling Scottish terrier with tufted ears and nose. Sharp spinel-twins and tetrahexahedral copper crystals with a sparkly, cuprite over-coated patina comprise this very interesting piece. This super piece comes from a recently uncovered stash from the well-known copper mine, as the specimens were collected in 1959.
