Item Description

A great Cuprite thumbnail specimen from this sulfide deposit in Russia about 35 km from Kazakhstan border. A group of sharp, lustrous, deep metallic red modified octahedra Cuprite makes for an excellent overall thumbnail specimen. VERY little damage (mostly complete all the way around) and it even shows a TINY BIT of color along the edges when backlit. These are going up in value it seems, as I have seen similar crystals priced much higher than they used to be at shows.
