Rare Cuprite specimen from the famed Tsumeb Mine! Over half a dozen sharp, metallic Cuprite crystals in the classic octahedral form are scattered on a bit of earthy matrix. A blood red color is evident with strong back-lighting as well. One of the richest ore bodies in the world, the Tsumeb Mine produced millions of tons of metallic ores as well as numerous varieties of minerals, in all sorts of combinations! Cuprite is one of the main species collectors go after from this mine. Don’t ignore this rarity!
