Item Description

A classic Cubanite thumbnail from the most iconic locality for the species. A classic star-shaped "sixling" cyclic twinned{110} group showing the highly representative golden color for this well-known Copper Iron sulfide. The Cubanite "stars" are amongst the most recognizable minerals in the world. Good specimens are few and far between, and certainly every good mineral collection should have a specimen of this material.
