Summary edit

Description
English: Copper, Quartz
Locality: Fissure Veins, Keweenaw County, Michigan, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: cabinet, 10.5 x 5.5 x 2.8 cm
Copper "Herringbone" with Quartz
This is an incredibly ornate, intricate crystallized copper that looks like nothing so much as an ancient ceremonial shield. It features sharp (razor sharp) spinel-twinned copper crystals radiating off to either side of a central array of two larger and more robust crystals running lengthwise down the piece. Between each spinel twin "spoke" are hundreds of tiny connector crystals in a herringbone-style pattern, reinforcing the strength and stability of the whole piece as well as making for a mesmerizing look. The piece is 3-dimensional, in that it has a thick midsection lending stability and support. This is a very unusual style for a Michigan copper and quite different than most of what you could obtain from these old mines. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
