It seems remarkable that you rarely see Native Copper specimens from Tsumeb mine - the world famous copper mine that has produced an amazing 345 different mineral species, 72 of which were first described there. Anyhow, this is one, and although a miniature it is a lovely shape, with great dendritic form, but sturdy enough not to be too delicate. It comes from the renowned Tsumeb collection of John Schneider. Rare stuff indeed.
