A sharp, perfectly symmetrical cuprite crystal showing amazing geometry, about as fine and complete as you can ask for. While a large number of cuprite crystals came out in the early 2000s from this remote location, most were damaged, dinged, rolled. This has fabulous luster, even surfaces, and a poised balance to it. A special quality, and notable for geometry and location. Alex purchased this in the early 2000s from a Russian dealer at Tucson. Laszlo Kupi photo.
