Description

Dramatic specimen featuring tens of stacked cuboctahedral cuprite crystals associated with well-formed native copper crystals. The specimen is basically a set of columnar piles of dozens of millimetric crystals with pretty good lustre and quality.
This is a 3D group, as it is complete all around, with some solid matrix and very minimal peripheral wear.

Elegant miniature, quite hard to spot in this quality nowadays!
