Cuprite on Chrysocolla$3,500.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
Cuprite from this famous mining district in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is considered the best in the world for combination of luster, sharpness, and brightness internally. Here is a sharp single crystal to 1.5 cm across, perched beautifully in matrix, with a combination of all of those qualities in one specimen, rarely seen! Photos speak for themselves. It does require backlighting, but when lit well, it literally glows like a ruby. Pristine, this crystal cluster has literally the finest luster you can get in the species, a brightness like quartz on the surface. As a bonus, the cuprite is perched in a small concave pocket lined with velvety powder blue chrysocolla.
