Description

The particular sample shows very good and intense color and a great assemble. It is always difficult to photograph a large specimen and the dimension is much more impressive when you hold it in your own hands. But overall you should get an idea of the great visual impact of this piece. The copper is very glossy and specimen is also well developed backside, in fact it´s a floater and undamaged. The inter grown matrix helps to give contrast to it, matrix is light grey to white and partly it shows light green patina (Malachite layer) by copper. Great sculptural and it is not too common, that you see a specimen in this dimension, which is still so aesthetic. Undamaged.
