A very rich and fine cabinet pseudomorph of rust-red copper after sharp cuprite crystals to 5 mm covering a curved crust of solid copper from the Morenci Mine of Arizona. Super-rich copper ore here from a renowned locale and the richness of the cuprite pseudomorphs is uncommon. This would be considered a fairly major Morenci copper specimen, pseudomorph or not. From the Consie Prince old dealer stock.
