SOLD

Rich, complex cluster of heavily modified cubic Cuprite crystals. The Cuprites have very good luster, and are a deep, translucent cherry-red. The largest isolated Cuprite is about 6 mm tall and wide, and about 4.5 mm thick. With good lighting, the lovely color of many of the Cuprites can be seen. A very good, representative specimen from Tsumeb.
