Item Description
What a beautiful setting for this very sharp, 0.5-cm crystal of cuprite from the premier locality in Congo! The deep red, razor-sharp crystal is surrounded by a field of chunky little deep green malachites surrounded by light green chrysocolla - a panoply of copper minerals in one specimen!
