Cuprite Meaning & Mineral Make Up

The meaning of the name Cuprite comes from the Latin 'cuprum'. It was named by William Karl Ritter von Haidinger in 1845.

Its name relates to the latin word 'cuprum' meaning copper, as these stones are a minor ore of copper.

Native copper crystals of Cuprite are known as ruby copper due to their bright red color and high copper content. 

Copper conducts electricity, and this copper ore is a secondary mineral that occurs in the oxidized zone of copper sulfide deposits.

This copper oxide mineral often occurs with native copper and with copper based stones such as Shattuckite, Malachite, Azurite and Chrysocolla stone as well as with a variety of iron oxide minerals.

Deposits of Cuprite often occur in the massive form, as well as compact granular, octahedral, cubic and dodecahedral forms, and penetration twins are also quite common.

Where Is Cuprite From?

Good deposits of this stone are found in Sardinia and the Ural Mountains in Russia.

It is also found in isolated locations in the Congo, Namibia, Australia, Japan, France, Germany, Cornwall in England, Mexico, Chile and Bolivia.

In the United States there are also important copper deposits of Arizona where the beautiful gem quality stones were found in the past.

Most pieces have a quite distinctive bright red color. While the Cuprite color ranges from a medium red color to a deep red color, almost black, there is a lovely Crimson Cuprite variety too.

The dark crystals are a new Cuprite find from Russia. They have a silvery shade over the redness of the stone.

These stones are known as Silver Cuprite and look like they are a dark gray color with a silvery red overtone. 

These red oxide minerals are now rarely seen as precious stones as the original deposits of gem-quality cuprite from Arizona has now been mined out.

Chrysocolla Cuprite Also Called Sonora Sunrise

Like many copper based stones Chrysocolla crystal is a green color. Chrysocolla Cuprite naturally occurs in a number of places and while it is not the same stone as Sonara Sunrise it has an excellent energy.
