Item Description
A great Cuprite thumbnail specimen from this sulfide deposit in Russia about 35 km from Kazakhstan border. Several razor sharp, rather lustrous, deep electric blood red octahedra of Copper form this smart look little display piece. To top it off, there are several small micro "wires" of Silver on the piece! Rarely does one encounter these two species together in nature. A real beauty from this locality.
