Giant Gear on solid black wood stand
PU251
Giant gear from the 1950s from the Moroccan mines of Bou-Skour, near Ouarzazate. These mines produced copper, but also very beautiful specimens of blue Azurite. These mines had to close due to lack of profitability in the 1970s. When we went buying Azurites and Malachites on the spot, we met a worker who had kept a heavy souvenir! It is now on a doweled solid black pine stand.
A highly industrial relic!
