Description

This is a superfine, dendritic Copper specimen with numerous well developed and sharp crystals. The colour is a metallic copper-redwith a beautiful patina. This is an unusually large and showy specimen of beautifully-crystallized copper from Kazakhstan! These gorgeous coppers of this form are not coming from the Itauz anymore; it is hoped they will again at some point, as we were all spoiled by the world-class coppers the mine was turning out for a while as the strip mine passed a series of wonderful pockets. But apparently the mining has moved on around the pit. Anyway, this is just a superb copper specimen in every way, from anywhere - beautiful dendritic form and fine "antique" luster.
