A vivid specimen with METALLIC, lustrous, red crystals of this variety of cuprite. From Bisbee, this is certainly an old piece, probably pre-1950s, and would be considered an extremely rich example for both the species and locality. Most specimens are small, and somewhat less show-worthy. This piece has large patches of the acicular cuprite crystals all over it, though. Esker Mayberry was the Bisbee barber and amassed a large and fine collection of Bisbee specimens in part by trading haircuts!
