A pristine, sharp, GEM, octahedral cuprite crystal aesthetically covered by malachite. This is CLASSIC, highly desirable material from the famous Emke Mine at Onganja, Namibia. These came out in the early 1970s, with no more since. The UNRETOUCHED backlit photo highlights the gemminess and intense, blood-red color saturation. Ex. Smale Collection.
