Cuprite With Silver
This imposing small cabinet specimen is our largest cluster, from purchases of material made by picking from 7 different lots that came to market through different dealers over the last 4 major shows. Composed of several dozens of crystals, this specimen is composed of SHARP octahedrons of dark red cuprite, up to 1.2 cm in length. It is very unusual, with so many crystals and such 3-dimensional exposure, that very few show any contact/damage at all (it is essentially pristine, really). This piece looks good vertical or horizontal, and is one of the larger undamaged specimens of this quality which we saw in the various lots at the Denver and Munich shows. The piece is richly associated with feltlike mats of native silver, in small dendritic crystals growing amongst the cuprite crevasses (a highly unusual association, as a bonus!)
