Well formed red Cuprite octahedrons and sparkling mounds of Delafossite all over matrix. The specimen is very rich in both Cuprite and Delafossite. While most Bisbee Cuprites are dull, this example shows a nice reddish tint under natural light which is fairly uncommon. Clean and undamaged specimen from the Bruce Murphy collection, acquired by Bruce in 2007.
