Let me know what occasion the gift is for and I'll add a special touch

Each piece in this listing is a unique native copper specimen, grown naturally on matrix and left entirely in its raw, organic state. These coppers showcase a range of formations, from lace-like branching to plate-style growth and grounded, matrix-heavy structures. No two are alike.

Native copper is known for its delicate crystalline textures, and minor crumbly edges are natural and expected with this material. All specimens have been photographed carefully so you can see structure, texture, and character from multiple angles.

These pieces are ideal for collectors, mineral enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to the raw artistry of natural metal formation.

Available Specimens

Select your exact piece by number.
1. 90 g – Branching Copper with Greenish Contrast
An expressive branching form with lovely greenish matrix contrast. Visually dynamic yet stable, with strong dimensional presence.

2. 123 g – Partial Plate-Like Copper with Delicate Arms
A mixed formation featuring a plate-style copper body with sculptural side growth and finer, delicate arms extending outward.

3. 53 g – Sculptural Copper, Light but Surprisingly Stable
A smaller, highly sculptural specimen with excellent balance for its size. Airy, organic form with a confident stance.

4. 60 g – Plate-Like Copper with Sculptural Arms (Collector Favorite)
A standout piece with broad copper surfaces and rising sculptural arms. Minimal matrix and especially rich copper coverage. One of the strongest copper-dominant specimens in the group.

5. 79 g – Self-Standing Sculptural Copper with Lace Edges
Beautifully self-standing with open, lace-like textures and lively sparkle. Some small crumbly edge areas consistent with fine copper growth.

6. 84 g – Lace-Like Copper on Pale Matrix, Self-Standing
Elegant, intricate copper textures spread across a pale greenish matrix. Soft, lace-like appearance with strong visual contrast and natural stability.

7. 47 g – Delicate Lace-Form Copper, Sculptural
Lightweight and intricate, with fine lace-like copper detail and open negative space. Best appreciated for structure and texture rather than mass.

8. 143 g – Matrix-Heavy Copper, Grounded and Stable
The most grounded piece in the group, with copper appearing painted across solid stone. Naturally flat-standing with a calm, earthy presence.

9. 96 g – Mixed Lace and Sculptural Copper, Sturdy Form
A balanced combination of lace-like textures and thicker copper growth. Visually layered, interesting from all angles, and sturdier than most lace-dominant specimens.


Notes on Care
Native copper is a naturally delicate mineral. Handle gently and avoid pressure on fine edges. Any minor flaking is part of the material’s natural character and formation.
