Copper is one of the most important elements in industry today. From insulation, to pipes, to wiring, it's everywhere. However, it is rare to see it in its native form, pulled straight from the ground. These specimens of native copper have retained their natural shape, forming complex, wiry crystals. Each sample is approximately 2.5-3" in length, and weighs between 2 and 3 ounces. Samples vary naturally, and may not look identical to those pictured.
