Chalcopyrite with Quartz, Sphalerite, Pyrite
specimen number:
8033257
location:
Boldut mine, Cavnic, Maramures Co., Romania
description:
Bright lustrous almost botryoidal brassy crystallized chalcopyrite extremely rich throughout this crystallized quartz matrix. The quartz is semi lustrous and translucent, with crystals as large as 3.5 cm in size. Small crystals of lustrous black sphalerite and brassy pyrite scattered throughout. Very minimal and sparse micro-chipping present as seen in the photo and video, considering the size of this piece a number of crystals present, I think in outstanding condition. This makes for a very choice and attractive Museum size piece. Shows well all around.
Size: 24.0 x 22.0 x 11.5 cm (large-cabinet)
