Description/Interesting Notes: A gorgeous, old time example of cuprite and calcite with malachite from Bisbee!!! This specimen hosts showy, deep red crystals of cuprite prominently perched on a cluster of star...k-white calcite crystals and accented by a few tiny malachite crystals!!! The main cuprite crystal exhibits a combination of intergrown, dodecahedral crystal freatures with razor-sharp detail and glassy luster!!! The other crystal is not damaged but instead exhibits a complexly etched form throughout!!! The cuprite crystals show gorgeous red color with marked translucece as well!!! The larger crystal measures nearly 2cm!!! This specien is in magnificent condition and displays gorgeously in person!!! This historic beauty retains an old label from the Scalisi collection and an old Harvard label with Dan E. Mayers notation as well (The specimen also shows a corresponding Harvard catalog number on the reverse as well)!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
