Cuprite
A sharp cluster of lustrous octahedral cuprites from the famous Mashamba West Mine. There are some small bits of matrix attached to the crystals, as well as some etching that appears to have taken place in spots. Very miniscule dings to some edges, overall in great condition. Specimen will glow red if backlit with a bright light. A very nice sculptural example of this material.
