Native Copper from the Ray Mine, AZ, USA. Miniature specimen as unique piece for mineral collectors.

 

Miniature specimen featuring native copper from the well-known Ray Mine in Arizona, USA. This piece shows the typical branching copper growths on light matrix – a classic appearance from this locality in Pinal County. The metallic luster and natural structure of the pure copper are especially striking and contrast nicely with the surrounding matrix.

The Ray Mine is one of the most important copper mines in North America and is prized among collectors for its native copper crystals and secondary copper minerals. Well-defined copper specimens have become increasingly rare and are often sourced from older collections or targeted finds.

A visually appealing and authentic collector’s item for anyone interested in native elements, classic U.S. localities, or the diversity of copper minerals. Miniature specimen as unique.
