Native Copper - crystalized Cornish
Trevassack Quarry, The Lizard Penninsula, Goonhill Downs, Mawgan-in Mene
Cornwall, England
6.4 x 3.9 x 1.4 CM (small cabinet/ large miniature)
price: $290
Fall 22
Classic Native Copper tree-like form with a colorful patina is perched on a shard of matrix. In fine condition with some slight iridescence in strong light, this is a an older piece with three previous collection labels included. This is from a less well-known locality at this former serpentine Quarry. The Copper crystals are distinct though crude, flattened and elongated having grown in a narrow seam. Some adhering Serpentine and Chrysocolla add a nice accent.
