Fantastically isolated, 3-dimensional, sharp cuprites for Bisbee, in a cluster upon ore matrix! These crystals are sharp and measure to 1 cm. The piece was formerly in the collection of well-known Michigan collector Lucious Hubbard at the turn of the 1900s, and his collection then went to the Seaman Museum. This is a rare old treasure!
