Item Description
A beautiful, very sharp, good sized, octahedral Cuprite crystal with velvety green Malachite from the Mashamba West Mine, in the Congo. When backlit, the piece shows a RICH red internal color, but it was difficult to photograph. The piece is contacted around the bottom, but still great quality overall. Valued at $950, and a worthwhile small miniature of this now hard to find material.
