Description

An eye catching combination of colors and super mirror luster of silvery cuprite with red flashing cores. There is no damage to the cuprites even where the crystals look as though they are broken- these are complexly formed skeletal like with multiple crystal faces. The well formed octahedrons are well isolated and exposed high off the contrasting turquoise surface.
