Description

A dense specimen richly invested with well formed Native  Copper crystals, some to 4mm in length, with some alteration to Cuprite and accompanied by minor chloritised Quartz. The copper crystals are well defined and display a modified octahedral habit, but in some places they becomes more 'branch' like - the smaller crystals have usually converted to Cuprite. An impressive Cornish copper and the hollow area in the middle adds to its display potential.
