An amazingly sculptural copper with cuprite specimen from the Ray Mine. The spinel-twinned portion at the right is 3.2 cm. Very sharp spinel-twins and tetrahexahedral copper crystals with a sparkly cuprite, overcoated patina comprise this very interesting piece. This piece comes from a recently uncovered stash from the well-known copper mine, as the specimens were collected in 1959.
