Item Description

A great Cuprite thumbnail. specimen from this sulfide deposit in Russia about 35 km from Kazakhstan border. Sharp, lustrous, deep metallic red octahedra of Cuprite measuring up to 1.0 cm makes for an excellent overall specimen. Just a little damage, but it shows great color along the edges when backlit! These are going up in value it seems, as I have seen similar crystals priced at $1000 at shows.
