Cuprite, Plancheite
A super-sharp, GEM, blood-red cuprite crystal aesthetically set on powder-blue plancheite-covered matrix on this excellent and showy specimen from the famous Kamoto Mine of Zaire. Cuprite is not well-known from the Kamoto Mine, so this is an outstanding piece for the species and locality. The 1.3 cm cuprite has textbook octahedral form and the super-trivial edge wear is barely noticeable and is certainly not a detraction to this classic material. Ex. H. Westenburger Collection.
