Description

The highlight of this specimen is the large, metallic and dark red octahedron up to 4,2 cm associated with some "little brothers" of the same species. The Cuprite is razor sharp and excellent defined. Some of the tips are slightly flattened, what gives the specimen a bit mor dramatic. The display side is superb and I can see no imperfection, the backside has some rock-contacts as usual.
