Cuprite on Copper
This is a unique specimen of intergrown copper and cuprite forming a large stalactite, with crystals of both seemingly intermixed but with cuprite the predominant mineral showing on the surface. The color is thus a deep red hue in good lighting, and it is much more attractive than appears in the photos. The piece is complete all around and 3-dimensional! It came out of the first collection of Dr. Ed David.
