Top quality specimen displaying original combination of Chalcopyrite crystals grown on Siderite base. Chalcopyrites are with very high luster and rich golden-yellow color. They show some iridescence, very sharp tetrahedral habit and truncated tips. One of the main crystals shows very interesting penetration twinning. The quality of Chalcopyrites is very high that the piece simply glows. They sit attractively atop rosettes of tobacco-green colored Siderites. The specimen morphology and the quality are amazing. In excellent condition – some very small nicks and outside edges contacts.

Outstanding!
