NATIVE COPPER

Exemplifying the finest attributes of Arizona's historic Ray Mine, this piece grabs the attention through its dramatic development and uncommonly large size for the locale. Starting from the base, the octahedral crystals create a broad patchwork that gradually spreads out into artistic dendritic protrusions. The aesthetic appeal is further enhanced by a sophisticated transition from rich red copper tones to a delicate pink patina, complemented by subtle accents of secondary green copper mineralization. Formerly in the prestigious Dan R. Kennedy collection of native metals.
