Condition
No recorded repairs
Ray mine in the wonderful sounding Dripping Spring Mts., Pinal Co., Arizona., is famed for fabulous Native Copper specimens of which it has produced many. This cabinet-sized specimen displays very well, featuring richly coloured 'leaves' of Native Copper shooting through and holding together clasts of white Quartz rock. The Native Copper is not so richly crystallized as some specimens from Ray mine, but is nevertheless a large and visually appealing piece. Ex David Hardman collection.
