NATIVE COPPER and CUPRITE

Rubtsovskiy Mine, Altaiskiy Krai, West Siberia, Russia, Asia

Available


5 x 3.6 x 2.8 cm (Small Cabinet)


A super specimen from the recent find in Siberia - big chunky sharply crystallised Copper crystals create a very aesthetic arborescent form upon which sit a cluster of lustrous Cuprite octahedrons. The Copper crystals measure to over 1cm in size, and have a wonderful coppery to reddish colour, and excellent patina. The Cuprite crystals are deep red in strong light with bright silvery lustre forming sharp octahedrons to 7mm in size. Killer form in this aesthetic specimen.
