About cuprite
Cuprite is a copper oxide mineral that, in rare transparent form, can produce gemstones with a rich, deep red color and exceptional luster. However, with Mohs hardness around 3.5–4 and very high density and brittleness, it is fragile and best suited to collection pieces rather than everyday wear.
