MFC18 Cuprite
Milpillas Mine, Cuitaca, Sonora, Mexico
11.2x 6.3x 2.0 cm
$385

A nice specimen of cuprite form the Milpillas Mine, hosting numerous flattened crystals on a white matrix.  These have been really expensive regardless of whether or not they have decent color (these look metallic)-- I think it has something to do with them being from Milpillas, as for a while anything from there seemed to carry a premium.

In any case, this is a relatively good representative specimen, of decent size, and what I think is not a bad price.
