1505975
location:
Cavnic, Maramures Co., Romania
description: Sparkling thin platy crystals of calcite to 4.0 cm in size covering the top of this 16.0 x 10.5 x 3.5 cm matrix. Large bright lustrous brassy crystals of chalcopyrite to 1.5 cm are scattered throughout. Minor quartz present as well. I'm sure there some minimal micro-chipping somewhere on this piece but overall I think it is in very good condition. Shipping weight: 2.5 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
