Cuprite with Native Silver (Ref: 10.1-086)
Rubtsovsky Mine, Rubtsovshy District, Altaiskii Krai, Russia
46mm x 46mm x 40mm
minID: GXJ-08F
Just over a decade ago the incredible discovery of fantastic large Cuprites from Rubstovsky (Russia) was huge news in the mineral world. This is an especially choice example of a fine undamaged Cuprite with the addition of having Native Silver on some areas. Even without the Silver this is a super Cuprite, it has excellent form and luster, is in fine condition and with good lighting the inner red colors are seen on some edges and faces. This piece was found in the early discoveries, it is of a style and quality that is no longer coming out (the find may have been exhausted but there are still some coming from dealers storage). The bright luster makes this hard to show well in photos, it is far better in person and very fine for the discovery. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
