Cuprite- gemmy red crystals
Milpillas Mine, Cuitaca, Municipio de Santa Cruz
Sonora, Mexico
6 x 4.4 x 1.7 CM (cabinet)
price: $520
Pre Holiday 2017

A well formed, bright stack of Cuprite crystals from the great Milpillas mine, better known for world class Azurites. This find of Cuprites created a big stir 2 years ago, but few were undamaged or had crystals much over a few millimeters. This piece is far better than average, in excellent condition damage wise and the crystals are stacked in an esthetic epitaxial arrangement. These octahedrons all will glow bright red with focused light passing through them, the photos here are only made with typical display lighting, so as not to be misleading. When these were first found the prices being charged were incredibly high, this is a lot more reasonable, yet a fine quality piece, by comparison a really good value.
