An old-time, classic and showy combination specimen of hackly copper with a nice patina on very rich coverage of lustrous, sharp, wine-red cuprite crystals on a plate of quartz-rich matrix. This fine piece is from the historic and very interestingly named Ting Tang Mine of Cornwall. The Ting Tang Mine was an active mine from 1816-1865. Ex. John Ydren Collection.
