Well formed crystal of Cuprite with a thin coating of Malachite. The Cuprite in these specimens are often transparent and faceted into gemstones. These are classics and now hard to find.
The crystal shows good well defined edges and is almost completely covered by Malachite. there is a small chip on the back that gives a window
into the bright red Cuprite interior but does not detract when viewed from the front.
