A very RICH, OLD-TIME and showy CABINET combination specimen from the famous Carn Brea Mine, Illogan, Cornwall. Lustrous microcrystals of wine-red cuprite and nests of sponge-like copper crystals dominate the crest of BOTH sides of the box-work, gray, sintered-like quartz matrix. This super, old and historic piece was mined in the 1840s-60s, according to the handwritten label accompanying the specimen. The Carn Brea Mine was formed in 1832 by the amalgamation of four older mines!
