Intergrown octahedrons of Copper that have replaced earlier Cuprite crystals. Complete all around and undamaged. This is an exceptional specimen as most of these have a coarser appearance due to larger subcrystals of Copper. This specimen has fine crystals of Copper which leads to much sharper overall form. Fine floater thumbnail with no points of attachement, perfect all around.
