SOLD
This gorgeous specimen features a sharp crystal to 1.6 cm on edge, nestled firmly in matrix by adjacent clusters of primary malachite. The color contrast is striking, particularly when the cuprite is backlit to show off its internal red hue. These are getting more rare by the year due to changes in mining patterns over there. 4.5 x 3.7 x 1.9 cm
