Description

Dramatically sculptural large floater copper from this much less well-known cobalt-copper mine in Zambia.  Most of the crystal forms appear to be subhedral spinel-twins,. But most of all it is the dimensión and the aborescent assemble, which make this piece so special – developed as floater, no significant damages to report and very showy in each position.
