Superb Cuprite floater crystals with sharp octahedral shape and strong luster from the famous Poteryaevskoe Mine, Rubtsovskoe deposit, Russia. The specimen has perfect geometry and metallic faces. Complete all over floater. On a strong light the crystals displays some gemminess with gorgeous and rich wine-red color. Some minor Copper is seen too. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 45, # 4, July-August 2014. In very good condition – some small nicks and imperfections.

Excellent Cuprite from this closed mine!
