Mineral:
Oxidized Splash Copper
Native Upper Peninsula Michigan copper is used to make these artistic
free-form sculptures. No two are alike and the shapes are open
to many different visual interpretations. Splash copper is made
from pouring molten copper at 2200 degrees onto a flat surface.
When the shapes are cooled, a green or turquoise colored chemical patina
is applied, then highlights are buff polished to expose the glowing
solid copper underneath. The sculptures are sprayed to preserve
the finish and to prevent the copper from tarnishing.
These are relatively flat specimens what would do well in either a
display box or displayed with an
acrylic stand.
