Item Description

A great, classic association stone from Arizona. This rather hefty and colorful "Tirangle Cabochon" cut gem is a great representative stone from this famous Copper producing state. The stone shows beautiful hues of orange-red Cuprite and a soft mint green mineral (most likely Malachite). For the $100 starting bid, the stone is priced at just over $5.00 per carat, which is a good price for the material. A very cool stone of this well-known and now difficult to obtain material.
