Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of cuprite from the Congo!!! This specimen consists of a large and impressive cluster of cuprite crystals in
association with a small amount of chrysocolla!!! This specimen is comprised mainly of solid, deep red cuprite - present as a very
large main crystal with numerous others in close association!!! The crystals have sharp, lustrous faces and - most notably, striking deep red color!!!
With some lighting, the crystals show ruby red color and marked clarity throughout!!! This specimen came out of an old collection and although there
is some damage, one can see the specimen is still very impressive and quite showy indeed!!! 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!!!
