Item Description
An excellent and attractive miniature display specimen of these fairly new and very eye-catching Copper / Cuprite association specimens from the Poteryaevskoe Mine in Siberia. The bright, metallic, sharp, lustrous modified dodecahedral, octahedral, and tetrahexahedral Copper crystals make for a very aesthetic, eye-catching and almost "organic" looking specimen. Rarely does one encounter such beautiful association of crystallized Copper from any world locality such as this. Valued at $1850 retail, and based on what we have seen at recent shows, the prices on these specimens seem to be on the rise.
