Copper, Cuprite
The Pearl Handle Pit of the Ray Mine is one of the more noted localities in the southwestern United States for crystallized copper. This very fine, two-sided, cabinet plate is composed entirely of sharp tetrahexahedral copper crystals with a rich patina and a bit of embedded, breccia matrix. Scattered on both sides and particularly along the crest of this specimen are beautiful, gemmy, cherry-red cuprite cubes to 4 mm. An excellent, large copper with cuprite specimen from this famous locale. Comes with two, older labels and the former dealer label indicates that the piece was collected in the 1960s.
