Superbly crystallised Native Copper is a trademark mineral of Relistian mine in Gwinear, Cornwall, but is seldomly seen for purchase or in private collections. This small miniature , measuring 3.5 cm long, is composed entirely of excellent Native Copper crystals exhibiting several crystal habits including spinel twins. Its patina is mainly that of copper-tinged milk chocolate brown, although this does grade to darker shades. It is a fairly robust piece, yet needs to be handled with due care and respect. For safe keeping, it is kept cushioned in a small screw-top jar supplied by the previous owner. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Relistian crystallised Native Copper; a very good one indeed.
