Description

Cuprite was on a copper, but then cuprite partially or completely was replaced by copper. This can be clearly seen in the first picture. In the same picture, we see silvered copper crystals. Replaced crystals retain their sharp edges. When replacing this type, the top layer of cuprite simply falls off and this is normal, so this piece can be considered as intact. An excellent specimen.
