Description

These exceptional cuprite specimens were a novelty at Tucson in 2009 and are considered to be a major find of the last years. Very nice mini specimen with stacked sharp and lustrous modified (by the dodecahedron) cuprite octahedrons with a blackish metallic appearance which gets a hue of red under strong illumination. Attached some moss like native copper and some silver also.
