Item Description
A cute combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. A 9 mm, lustrous, translucent, stair-stepped, wine-red cuprite crystal is aesthetically set in a vug lined with lustrous, snow-white, smithsonite rhombs and beautifully accented with contrasting, green, primary malachite blades. The base has been sawed to enhance the display quality. Classic and showy combo material from the Wes Parker Collection.
