Chalcopyrite, Siderite

Specimen # 100267
Mineral: Chalcopyrite, Siderite
Location: Kaiwu Mine, Hezhang Co., Ghizou Province, China
Size: 7.5 x 5.7 x 5.0 cm

Description

Aesthetic groups of chalcopyrite crystals with clusters of delicate siderite crystals from Kaiwu. The chalcopyrite crystals are sharp, and lustrous. The siderites are all over this one and provide a lot of texture. The chalcopyrite group at the top is super – sharp, well defined, with simple mirror-bright faces, intergrown crystals. Virtually no damage – tiny nicks to a couple of siderites, but not at all obvious – and an area of former attachment at the bottom on the left. Beautiful high quality specimen.
