Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredible, old time example of native copper after cuprite from this historic French locality!!! This specimen consists of a sharp, hoppered octahedral
crystal of cuprite that has been completely pseudomorphed to native copper!!! There is also a thin layer of malachite/copper secondaries in association as well!!! The
crystal exhibits classic form for the locality and is complete and undamaged all around!!! An unsusual, and rare, native
copper pseudomorph from a locality much better known for
its classic malachite pseudomorphs after cuprite!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
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 JUNE 10th!!!
