S6442 - Copper - $3500
Centennial Mine, Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan
Overall Size: 12.3 x 5.7 cm

The best Michigan coppers have well defined crystals with smooth brown faces, two main reasons the state
has become world famous for the mineral. The piece above shows these qualities in a very classy way.
The majority of coppers are coarse by nature without any structure, basically heavy and chunky, above is a
very sharp crystal that is the focal point of the specimen! A hard one to find! If an area of interest you cannot go
wrong with this cabinet sized specimen as I have seen half the specimen for twice the price many times.
This rich dark red native element has it all!
