An outstanding example of cuprite and native silver from the recent find in Russia!!! This specimen
consists of a showy cluster of razor-sharp, lustrous, undamaged octahedral cuprite crystals
in association with rich showing of very fine, dendritic crystals of native silver!!! The cuprite crystals
have characteristic dark color but have numerous red highlights and areas of deep red flash within!!!
The native silver exhibits a complex, very fine dendritic habit that is likely pseudomorphic after miersite or
another halide (Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can see a few masses that have crude subhedral forms)!!!
Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, there is a minor amount of rare miersite tucked in some nooks and crannies!!!
This is a killer example of cuprite and native silver from this amazing find (which is no doubt
a future classic!)!!! Don't miss out on this showy and valuable specimen!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
