Chalcopyrite with Quartz, Sphalerite
specimen number:
8035500
location:
Boldut mine, Cavnic, Maramures Co., Romania
description:
The top of this matrix is covered by beautiful bright lustrous brassy crystallized chalcopyrite, these measuring to 1.0 cm in size. Colorless near gemmy crystals of quartz to 4.0 cm are scattered throughout as well as the piece being accented nicely with sparkling black crystals of sphalerite. Very slight micro-chipping present, however all of the quartz crystals are in fine condition as our the chalcopyrite crystals. I think overall considering the size of this piece that specimen is in super condition.
Size: 32.0 x 22.0 x 9.0 cm (large-cabinet)
