SOLD

A shallow vug in an ocherous limonite matrix is the host for a sparkling druse of brownish red cuprite crystals. Ex. British Museum (Natural History) and Nick Carruth collections along with their labels - the best for this locale, that Nick was ever able to obtain. While common from other mines, a Jewel piece is very rare.
