Copper with Quartz
Onganja Mine, Windhoek District
Khomas Region, Namibia
5.1 x 2.8 x 1.7 CM (miniature)
price: $350
Spring update
A crystallized sculpture of Copper from the famed Onganja mine that has several crystallized Quartz clusters perched. In fine condition, the Quartz seems to have formed on a Calcite core. A rare association, the tiny Quartz crystals are very clear, adding a sparkling accent. The Copper is in branching crystals with some showing crude spinel twinning and flattened, stretched octahedrons. Quartz is not a common association in these coppers.
