Description

Sculptural group of native copper intimately intergrown within a vein of white-to-colorless calcite. Copper makes masses and wires, partially exposed due to the removal of calcite, and it occasionally displays a green alteration due to its local oxydation. 

A very representative specimen of Italian copper, dated back to at least the early 80s. From a former Greek collection, whose label is typewritten on the original box. In my collection since several years.

Weight includes the original plastic box.
