| 10764: Chalcopyrite, Quartz and Calcite -
$8 Locality unknown Small cabinet - 6.1 x 5.7 x 3.8 cm 165 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order The matrix display face is studded
with abundant, bright, brassy and somewhat iridescent
chalcopyrite crystals to about 7 mm, these on a carpet of
small but transparent and sparkling quartz points. Minor
calcite is also present. The original label that
accompanies the specimen gives the locality as California's Jensen Quarry (which is
clearly incorrect), but as this mineral species
association is globally abundant, it is impossible to
correct this locality error. Normally a specimen of common
material without locality might just be given away but
this example is too displayable for just a kid's
collection. Self standing and in very nice condition.
