Item Description

A great Cuprite thumbnail specimen from this sulfide deposit in Russia about 35 km from Kazakhstan border. A few sharp, lustrous, deep metallic red octahedrons of Copper make for an excellent overall thumbnail specimen. VERY little damage, and really three dimensional and showy. The largest crystal measures 2.0 cm. These are going up in value it seems, and this piece was valued at $795 from the previous dealer.
