Cuprite on Chrysocolla Kolwezi, Western area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) 5.52cm x 3.1cm x 2.33cm Ex. Larry Krause Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic exmaple of cuprite from the Congo!!! This specimen hosts a complex cluster of octahedral cuprite crystals in aesthetic association with chrysocolla on matrix!!! The cuprite crystals have rich cherry red color and sharp, lustrous faces!!! With any degree of lighting, the crystals light up with ruby red color and flashes of intense red gemminess can be seen throughout!!! The crystals are actualy in terrific condition - any areas that might appear to be damage in the pics are actually natural features (likely reverse-botryoidal contacts)!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
