Description
COPPER ICE is an extraordinary rock crystal specimen with rutile and chlorite from the Himalayas. The clear to transparent quartz combines warm gold- to copper-colored rutile with greenish chlorite, creating a striking interplay of color, transparency, and mineral structure.
Particularly fascinating are the rutile structures, which reveal golden, bronze, and copper-colored reflections as the viewing angle and light change. The greenish chlorite provides a cool counterpoint to these warm metallic tones and creates a distinctive contrast with the clear rock crystal.
The specimen’s complex crystal architecture further enhances its character. Differently oriented growth zones and accompanying mineral structures create remarkable visual depth, while reflections and subtle refractions continuously reveal new details throughout the quartz.
Weighing 160 g and measuring approximately 89 mm in height, COPPER ICE combines compact proportions with a strong visual presence and is particularly well suited for a sophisticated mineral collection or display case.
The combination of clear Himalayan rock crystal, warm-toned rutile, greenish chlorite, and distinctive crystal architecture makes COPPER ICE a unique and highly individual collector’s specimen.
