Cuprite with Malachite (ex Harold Urish Collection)

Item Description

A beautiful and eye-catching display specimen of this most classic material featuring highly lustrous, "sprays" of rich mint green Malachite and modified octahedra of deep red (nearly black) Cuprite which are sitting on Goethite matrix. Specimens from Bisbee are some of the most highly sought after in the world, and this classy, old-time specimen from this famous mining district is a great and worthwhile piece for any collector. When backlit, the Cuprite crystals will show their classic electric red color. The largest Cuprite measures 1.0 cm across.
