A fantastic, historic specimen of Native copper and Cuprite from Redruth, sadly no mine attributed, as was typical in older collections. This comes from Robert Auguste Touchon who was a french general and mineral collector.

The specimen has bright Cuprite to 4mm and druzy patches of microcrystalline Cuprite.

The native copper is well crystallised all over.

There is a patch of remaining label glue from the old label that was attached to it, this could be removed with isopropyl.

Size 10x5.5x4.5cm
