CUPRITE on NATIVE COPPER

Deep lustrous maroon red crystal clusters of Cuprite are seen abundantly grouped over bright metallic crystallized Native Copper, from the Manto Cuba Mine, Chile. The specimen displays a central area of Native copper and white shards of Quartz, with a major branch of Native Copper to one side. And many smaller crystal extensions of Native Copper with cubo-octahedral crystals of Cuprite. A very rich specimen of the two copper species.
