Description

Very rich cuprite miniature from Tsumeb. A group of complex crystals composes a cluster with dark red, brick color, displaying quite good lustre (in a few cases, almost metallic) for both the specie and the locality. Smooth faces for cuprite. 

Quite a good specimen from this classic locale. The specific miniature is dated back to 1972 and comes from the former Kasper collection (CH).
