Red, lustrous, translucent doubly-terminated cuprite crystals to 1.1 cm are on blue-green chrysocolla. Most crystals, including the largest, are in excellent shape. The Dikuluwe Mine is west of the better known Mashamba West Mine. Specimens from Dikuluwe are less common; this specimen probably is from the finds in the late 1980's. For more information on this locality, see Lapis 17(3), 13-40 (1992). 8.4 x 8.0 x 3.6 cm.
