Description

Numerous dark grey, multifaced crystals of cuprite with a reddish hue. They are high lustrous, sharp edged and also very well developed. They are accompanied by pale caramel-grey uncrystallized quartz. So far I can see, the specimen is undamaged, only a small imperfection at the very periphery. A good and classic Cornish specimen in splendid condition.
