Item Description
A highly unusual association of silver on cuprite from this important copper mine in Russia, from the fitrst finds of these back around the mid-2000s! With crystals growing out on all sides, much like a stalactite, this complete-all-around floater specimen displays from any angle, and both vertical and horizontal. It has metallic octahedrons of dark red cuprite, to 1 cm in length. The silvery spots you see are just that -native silver, micro-crystallized in some cracks and crevasses amongst the cuprite (and more visible in person as it is hard to video both the luster and the depth at same time). This is a gorgeous specimen with exceptionally high luster, and just sparkles.
