Scintillating, magenta, hair-like needles of cuprite variety chalcotrichite are RICHLY scattered in a large vug in sculptural massive hematite matrix from the recent finds at the famous Daye Mine of China. Most of the needles are so fine it is hard to see them all. They reach nearly 3.0 cm long! There are MANY, MANY MORE needles than the photos show. This is a rich and very fine, highly representative specimen of the species and locality.
