954 Cuprite on Native Copper Bisbee, Chochise County, Arizona cabinet 11.5 x 8.5 x 5 cm ex. Nettie and Martin (Marty) Dopler #42 in my great-grandparents' collection, this is a cabinet sized mass of native copper coated with dark red Cuprite crystals. In places the Cuprites range into deep irridescant blues, and under magnification, the many gemmy deep red micro faces of Curpite are quite beautiful. According to the catalog entry in Nettie's hand, the date 1884 is noted, which would be just a year or two before her birth. labelMineral Occurances
