With crystals growing out on all sides, much like a stalactite, this complete-all-around floater specimen displays from any angle, and both vertical and horizontal. It has metallic octahedrons of dark red cuprite, to 1 cm in length. The silvery spots you see are just that -native silver, micro-crystallized in some cracks and crevasses amongst the cuprite (and more visible in person as it is hard to photo both the luster and the depth at same time). A highly unusual association!
