STOLEN AT 2017 TUCSON SHOW. CRIMINAL REPORT FILED WITH TUCSON CITY POLICE. IF ANYONE SEES THIS PIECE,PLEASE CONTACT ROSS LILLIE AT 248.990.2691 OR EMAIL northstarminerals@mac.com. THANK-YOU. Top miniature showing perfect octahedral cuprite on one end and an exceptionally sharp octahedron of copper after cuprite on the other. These are from a small pocket and new find in late 2011 that show a first phase of octahedral cuprite, then pseudomorphed by copper and then in turn a secondary overgrowth of lustrous octahedral cuprite. The specimen resembles a miniature dumbbell with a pseudo on one end a cuprite on the other. Top quality and aesthetics. Competition grade from this sensational oxidized orebody.
