An excellent combo specimen of deep blood red cuprites and colorless smithsonite on matrix from the Tsumeb Mine. Both species are lustrous and in great condition, with sharp edges and terminations. The cuprites glow red under bright light, and there is minor crystallization present on the backside as well. Sits nicely on its own.
