Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of cuprite from this classic New Mexico locality!!! This is a pair of two individual specimens!!!
Both specimens exhibit complex, stepped cubic habits with glassy luster and deep red color that is way better than the pictures show!!!
Both crystals are complete and in fantastic condition!!! The larger crystal is aesthetically perched on a "stalk" of matrix while the
smaller crystal is a floater!!! It was difficult to capture these handsome beauties in the pictures - they are so much better in person!!!
Their ruby red color is gorgeous and they have marked clarity with flashes of red within!!! This pair of specimens is
from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retain their Museum label with A.W. Pinner Collection notation!!!
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!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 11th!!!
