Copper-Fine Spinel twins, Herringbone crystals
Phoenix Mine, Phoenix, Keweenaw County
Michigan, United States
5.9 x 2.6 x .7 CM (cabinet)
price: $500
Spring update

Wonderful esthetics! Slender wires in branches holding spinel twinned Copper crystals in Herringbone arrays. A very old specimen from the famed Phoenix mine, in perfect condition. A superb, textbook example of these habits that is much more delicate than most Phoenix specimens. Under magnification it seems a small dab of Silver is present as well as a small modified cube. It is remarkable that this piece has remained intact.
