Special TUCSON SHOW 2012 Auctions!!!


***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Cuprite with Native Silver

Rubtsovskoe Cu-Zn-Pb deposit, Rudnyi Altai, Altaiskii Krai, Western-Siberian Region, Russia

2.36cm x 1.58cm x 1.35cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

An outstanding example of cuprite and native silver from the recent find in Russia!!! This specimen consists of a showy cluster of razor-sharp, lustrous, and complete octahedral cuprite crystals in association with rich showing of very fine, dendritic crystals of native silver in addition to some native silver!!! The cuprite crystals have characteristic dark color but have numerous red highlights and areas of deep red flash within!!! The native silver exhibits a complex, very fine dendritic habit that is likely pseudomorphic after miersite or another halide (Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can see a few masses that have crude subhedral forms)!!! There is also some native copper poking out of the cuprite - the very beginning of native copper pseudomorphing the cuprite!!! This is a killer example of cuprite and native silver from this amazing find (which is no doubt a future classic!)!!! Don't miss out on this showy and valuable specimen!!! 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!!! STAY TUNED!!!
