Striking and rare specimen of iridescent Chalcopyrite completely covering elongated Chalcocite and Djurleite. The specimen has beautiful dendritic crystal growth with delicate arborescent shape. One dominant 17 mm crystal forms tremendous focal point.  Chalcopyrite has glittering purple, blue and green variations which give very colorful display. The colors are rich and saturated with very strong electric nuances. Complete all over. For references see the 2014 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 45, # 1. In very good condition – some small damages. On acrylic base.
Outstanding!
