A classic USA pseudomorph with Copper replacing an Azurite crystal rosette. This piece also has begun an alteration on the Copper as well to a Chrysocolla and Tenorite. The whole piece has an interesting softness to the Copper, it almost looks slightly melted. This still has a distinctive form and looks fine from every side. No damage, a nice example of this replacement from the aptly named Copper Rose Mine.

A fantastic Copper after Azurite rosette that is sharp, very large and quite old. An early Wards label (likely 1900-20) is included and one from the Charles Noll collection as well. This habit and style is unique to this locality and this specimen perfectly preserves the form of the Azurite crystals and the rose shaped cluster they grew in. Nice patina and in perfect condition.
