SOLD
Stunning pseudo and one of the best of these old classics that I have had, looks like someone just cast the copper in the form of an Azurite rose. It is that sharp and well-defined, with moderate luster and a rich chocolate-brown patina to it. Many of these fine pseudos were collected by George English and A.E. Foote in the 1890's and were sold to Eastern collectors and also to European collectors. This one from the Rose Mine which is east of the Chino mine. This is a classic New Mexico locality, now gone.
