Description

A real Cornwall classic from the late 19th century from a Camborne/Redruth/St. Day District copper specimen suite at Krantz: a flat sheet of native copper with some gangue and dark reddish cuprite, in part as lustrous octahedral crystals in cavities.

Weight: 300 grams - the accompanying label is of later origin - there is no historic label with this one. Wheal Gorland is an educated guess - St. Day/Gwennap area is sure.
