Numerous GEMMY red Cuprites up to 7 mm abound here on fields of small white Dolomite rhombs. The Cuprite crystals have good form and a luster that ranges from good to excellent. For the size and richness, this is a very fine specimen with lots more eye appeal than Tsumeb cuprites of size normally give you. Purchased from the Zweibels in 1976.
