Copper
Presumed Michigan, USA
3.21 x 2.75 x 0.80 inches (8.16 x 6.99 x 2.02 cm)

This striking polished specimen of native Copper, presumed to originate from Michigan's famed Upper Peninsula, reveals a vivid metallic network intertwined with pale Quartz. The copper veins glint with a warm, reddish luster, their natural geometry tracing through the stone like molten light captured in motion. Pale gray and white Quartz contrasts beautifully against the reflective metal, highlighting the specimen's intricate, organic patterning. Polished on one face to reveal its structure in remarkable clarity, this piece exemplifies the aesthetic and mineralogical richness for which Michigan copper deposits are renowned. This is a radiant and finely balanced example of nature's artistry in metal and stone.
