It is often associated with Native Copper, Malachite, Azurite, Limonite and Chalocite.
Of all the copper ores except for native copper, Cuprite gives the greatest yield of copper per molecule since there is only one oxygen atom to every two copper atoms. As a mineral specimen, Cuprite shows fine examples of well-developed cubic crystal forms. Cuprite’s dark crystals show internal reflections of the true deep red inside the almost black crystal.

AUSSIE JADE OFF CUTS 11
A parcel over half a kg of Aussie Jade Off Cuts in green to black. Great for the lapidarist or carver after relatively rare Australian Nephrite Jade. Most of these pieces have at least one straight edge and all are ready to start working your magic on. I have taken photos of the jade both dry and wet to give an idea of colour. It looks better in person than the pics show. All the Jade is from Cowell in South Australia.
