One of the few specimens from the Jan 2016 pocket, which I think will be quite well remembered as the most beautiful cuprite pocket for this locality, that has actual isolated crystals on contrasting matrix. These crystals reach to 1.5 cm and are a wonderful cherry red color with good lighting, or sunlight. Some small wear is present, but most crystals including the majors are in excellent condition. The large crystals and complex forms, combined with color and luster, make these a significant find.
