Description
Cyprine is a copper-rich mineral of the vesuvianite group.
Here we have massive green cyprine associated with slightly crystallized violet fluorite and pink thulite.
Beautiful colors for this little-known mineral.
Nineteenth-century specimen from naturalist dealer Deyrolle (with box and label) from Vestfold og Telemark in Norway, a well-known locality for cyprine.
