An extraordinarily long and complete floater crystal of copper with associated silver and calcite. The specimen is serpentine and undulates with twists and turns from the wide section at the base to a fine pointed termination. Sections are sharply crystallized with tetrahex faces that elongate along preferential faces. Excellent original patina with rich coppery brown luster. Mined c. early 1990s. No faults. An amazing piece from this closed classic location in the Copper Country. William A.N. Severance Collection #94.10; acq. Gary Richards Fine Minerals.
