S18322 - Cuprite ps. to Malachite with Calcite - SOLD
Emke Mine, Onganja, Windhoek District, Khomas Region, Namibia
Overall Size: 5 x 3.5 cm
Onganja is known for this type of distinctive pseudomorph/coating and this piece is exceptionally good for the type. The replacement is sharp faced and still retains the cuboctahedral form of cuprite. This is a particularly fine miniature, with an undamaged crystal to 2.5 cm nicely elevated from calcite.
