Item Description
Sharp, lustrous silver-metallic, cuprite crystals to 6 mm fill two vugs in the scultpural matrix of massive cuprite on this fine and showy specimen from the famous mines at Bisbee. The translucent cuprites glow with wine-red to cherry-red color under bright light. Undoubtably old-time material from this classic locale, but no proof. Rich and hefty copper ore. Ex Dennis Mullane Bisbee collection
