Description

A pair of single crystal of altered cuprite to malachite from a classic worldwide location for this type of crystal. The two crystals show two of the best known shapes for this mineral species, a perfect octahedron of 0.7cm side and a perfect dodecahedron with the same dimensions. They arrive in a glass vial closed by a cork on which is an ink inscription "Kupferglas Cu 2 O".

A cute intriguing sample and the two crystals are really very beautiful!
