Cuprite with Chrysocolla

Item Description

This fine specimen features several very sharp, and large octahedral crystals of Cuprite to 2cm from this noted locality in the DRC. These very dark red, opaque, razor-sharp crystals are surrounded by contrasting, pale blue-green Chrysocolla on a gray matrix. When lit with a very strong light source the crystals glow with a dark internal cherry red color. A great miniature and these pieces are becoming very difficult to obtain. valued $1000
