Item Description

A beautiful, relatively sharp, dodecahedral Cuprite crystal from Onganja. When backlit, the piece shows a RICH red internal color with a lovely contrasting dusting of mint green Malachite. The piece is contacted on the back, but still good quality overall. Valued at $395, and a worthwhile thumbnail of this now hard to find material.
