Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of native copper pseudomorphs after cuprite from Russia!!! This specimen
consists of a showy cluster of octahedral cuprite crystals that have been completely replaced by native copper crystals!!!
This striking pseudomorph is very sharply defined and much more three-dimensional than the pics show!!! The
octahedral forms are sharply preserved all around!!! The actual native copper crystals are quite sharp themselves and
have a gorgeous patina and lively metallic luster!!! This is a very fine example of this unique occurence that
will no doubt be considered a future classic!!! This specimen is in magnificent condition and displays fantastically
all around!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY OCTOBER 4th!!!
