Description: Copper, Cuprite Locality: Ray Mine, Scott Mountain area, Mineral Creek District (Ray District), Dripping Spring Mts, Pinal County, Arizona, USA (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 4.5 x 4.2 x 0.8 cm. An amazingly sculptural copper with cuprite specimen from the Ray Mine. The spinel-twinned portion at the right is 3.2 cm. Very sharp spinel-twins and tetrahexahedral copper crystals with a sparkly cuprite, overcoated patina comprise this very interesting piece. This piece comes from a recently uncovered stash from the well-known copper mine, as the specimens were collected in 1959.
