Cuprite is an oxide mineral, Cu2O. You and I used to think that copper oxidized to green. This oxide is deep red according to Wikipedia. Wikipedia also states that it is a minor ore of Copper. It does not say whether it is "minor" because of its availability or lack there-of.

"Pink" is not listed as a color of Cuprite's crystals but the dark red crystals around the pink are definitely Cuprite. It can be used as a gem if it possesses the required clarity. It that instance it is called Ruby Copper. It lacks the hardness of Ruby, making it less desirable.
