A spectacular Cuprite specimen from the famous Mashamba West mine. this specimen is from the Bill Hiss collection and features numerous Cuprite crystals to 1.4cm set on blue/green Chrysocolla. The Cuprites display a variety of forms, some with bebelled edged due to cube modifications and some with raised trigonal faces. There are also some sprays of velvety Malachite present on a few of the crystals. Overall in excellent condition and a gorgeous and uncommon specimen.
