A RARE and very showy Bisbee specimen of gold on copper crystals from the Cole Shaft. This arborescent cluster of copper crystals has a unique, golden-bronze patina from the gold growing epitaxially on the copper crystals and the aesthetic character of the piece reminds me of bird or dragon, with the low head and beak out front. A really unique and distinctive specimen from the Dave and Emily Stoudt Collection.
