Chalcopyrite on Quartz
specimen number:
7073100
location:
Casteel No. 35 Mine, Iron Co., Missouri, USA
description:
Beautiful purple iridescent crystals of chalcopyrite scattered throughout the top of this 5.5 x 4.0 x 2.0 cm crystallized quartz matrix. In fine condition as seen, great color contrast making for an attractive specimen. Good crystallized quartz is not terribly common from the viburnum trend, today mostly confined to this mine. The combination with the chalcopyrite is quite nice. Shipping weight: 0.11 pounds. Collected in the spring of 2015.
Size: 5.5 x 4.0 x 2.0 cm (miniature)
