A stunning specimen of Christamas-colors, with brilliant red cuprite of unusual quality for Tsumeb perched on green-colored calcite matrix. This was, to me, the premier cuprite specimen in the collection and it really leaps out, as it is incredibly sparkly in person and the many facets reflect light every which way. Evan Jones collection, purchased from Kristalle and previously in the Jim Thompson collection 5.5 x 4 x 2 cm
