Galena with Chalcopyrite, Quartz
specimen number:
7191372
location:
Casteel No. 35 Mine, Iron Co., Missouri, USA
description:
A beautiful large cabinet piece showing non-lustrous sharply formed octahedral crystals to 2.5 cm across scattered throughout a matrix of beautifully iridescent chalcopyrite crystals and sparkling micro quartz crystals. Some calcite present as well is masses along one edge. I think in very good condition overall, these are exceptionally large crystals for the habit for the species at this mining district. Very colorful with the chalcopyrite. Measures 30.0 x 18.0 x 6.0 cm in size. Shipping weight: 10 pounds.
Size: 30.0 x 18.0 x 6.0 cm (large-cabinet)
