Superb Cuprite crystal with sharp octahedral shape and bedazzling luster from the famous Poteryaevskoe Mine, Rubtsovskoe deposit, Russia. It has perfect geometry, metallic faces and strong mirror luster. Complete all over almost a floater with minor contact area. On a strong light the crystals display gemminess with gorgeous and rich wine-red color. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 45, # 4, July-August 2014. Better in person. In very good condition – some micro nicks and one contact area.

Choice Cuprite from this closed mine!
