Special TUCSON SHOW 2012 Auctions!!!


***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Marshite pseudomorph after Cuprite

Rubtsovskoe Mine, Rudnyi Altai, Altaiskii Krai, Western-Siberian Region, Russia

1.2cm x 1cm x .72cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A fantastic example of this rare species from Russia!!! This locality has produced some of the most exceptional examples of this rare species that easily rival or exceed the classic finds from Chile or Broken Hill!!! While the cuprite specimens from this locality have been somewhat prolific, there were just a scant handful of these incredible marshite crystals found in one small area of the mine!!! What makes this specimen so great is that, not only is it a fine marshite specimen, it is actually a marshite crystal pseudomorph after cuprite!!! The specimen exhibits an overall octahedral form and still hosts a small amount of reddish cuprite within!!! There is also a small amount of cuprite-coated native copper in association as well!!! These rare and unique pseudomorphs represent truly fantastic examples of the species!!! These specimens are already all gone - don't miss out!!! 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 FEBRUARY 16th!!!
