Description

Oldtimer miniature of crystallised chalcopyrite associated to milky quartz. Contrastful and in good conditions, chalcopyrite crystals show a very dark coating which probably is a thin epimorph given by bornite.

From a classic, yet rather uncommon on the market Hungarian locale. The specimen is over 50 years old and it comes straight out of my collection.
