Chalcopyrite with Quartz
specimen number:
3831147
location:
Magmont mine, Iron Co., Missouri, USA
description:
An interesting specimen showing a shell like matrix coated with sparkling micro quartz crystals. Bright brassy crystals of chalcopyrite are scattered throughout. If you look close at the interior of the cavity, I believe some of this quartz is forming hollow cavities after what were once galena crystals.
