Item Description
A nifty 3-piece deal of old-time, excellent, floater malachite-coated cuprite crystals from the famous mines at Chessy. The classic octahedrons have different forms, adding pizzazz. One crystal is a double. You can see areas of wine-red cuprite, where there is modest bruising. The ancient Chessy mines were closed by the end of the 19th century and these are fine examples of a classic form and species. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
