Item Description
Exceptional metallic lustrous crystal with striated faces, this is literally the perfect textbook crystal for a large thumbnail example of the mineral species, chalcopyrite. For an otherwise common species, truly fine crystals of this quality in isolation and suitable for a refined thumbnail collection, are difficult to find. This piece is shocking in the color and metallic luster, in person, and is both gorgeous on its own right and quite competitive for an example of the species in even the most sophisticated TN collection (as we see here). Featured in the book by Mineralogical Record; Refined Elegance: Nov-Dec 2022 (page 101) with Scovil photo. We sold this to Alex out of an old collection back in 2014 (from David Stoudt).
