Description

Small 3mm Chalcopyrites are scattered across this Miniature plate of Ankerite crystals.  Very nice example from this Classic Cumbrian Mine.  I collected this in the late-1980s when the mine was accessible with a hand-made winch system (contraption) that lowered us 200 feet to the main stope. Fun!
