A lovely composition of interpenetrating sharp matte green malachite coated cuprite crystals from the Onganja mine in Namibia. Near the base the red cuprite is visibly exposed. This locality produced some of the best large cuprite crystals known to be discovered. This specimen is a very representative example.
