Item Description

Splendent, sharp, translucent, metallic-gray, cuprite crystals to 7 mm are very aesthetically clustered on the undulating, elongated, nubby gossan matrix on this very fine and rare specimen from Bisbee. Documented cuprite specimens are extremely rare from the famous Junction Shaft. A few of the crystals are lightly bruised, but there is no major damage. Classic, rare older material from the Dennis Mullane Bisbee Collection and comes with a faded label.
