Iridescent purple crystals of chalcopyrite to 0.4 cm present as well. This sits perfectly by itself for display and is in very good condition with only minimal micro-chipping to several of the chalcopyrite crystals. While not lustrous, the crystals are quite large for this habit from the mining district and look nice with the iridescent chalcopyrite. Shipping weight: 0.48 pounds.
