Description

This piece features a multitude of intergrown and chalcopyrite crystals perched on and in between bladed siderite crystals. The chalcopyrites are sharp and bright. There are small quartz crystals in with the chalcopyrites, including a cute doubly-terminated one (1.3 cm). No damage to the display side, just points of attachment at the bottom and periphery. A lot of sparkle on this one.
