Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredible, old time example of native copper after cuprite from this historic French locality!!! This specimen consists of a sharp,
compound 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
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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 17th!!!
