Cuprite var. Chalcotrichite on Cuprite & Copper (Belsky Coll.)

Item Description

Striking, scintillating red needles of cuprite variety chalcotrichite richly and colorfully cover both sides of the sculptural flattened copper and cuprite matrix on this exceptional two-sided example from the famous Ray Mine. A sharp, 1.2 cm, malachite-coated cuprite octahedron at the base of one side is a super accent! Very choice older material from the Howard Belsky Collection. The $750 price tag is 7-8 years old. A MUST for the species or locality collector.
