A wonderful example of a copper pseudomorph after cuprite - featuring a fantastic focal crystal 3.5 cm across. This is an exceptionally good one for this locality, which is world-famous for these unusual and interesting pseudomorphs, as well as the world's largest cuprite crystals. Production here was short lived, lasting only 10 years (2005-2015). With the locality is no longer operating, exquisite examples such as this are becoming rarer and rarer.
