SHARP, definite crystals to 3 mm of the rare species Cuprotungstite are here perched atop an altering scheelite crystal (that is itself now partially Cuprotungstite), on this amazing rare species piece from a very old US locality. Not much to look at, except dark green micros on a brown octo, but a very significant little treasure nonetheless. Sold by Cahn around WWI, judging by the address on his label.
