Item Description

A rarely seen old time specimen on this classic material from the Bufa Mine. I've only seen one other piece of this material, and this particular piece is the better of the two. It features many wonderfully sharp, lustrous, metallic iridescent crystals of Chalcopyrite measuring up to 1.2 cm on micro Quartz crystals on matrix. The piece comes with an old Scott Williams label, that says it was originally valued at a whopping $5.00! Don't miss out on this one if you collect hard to find Mexican minerals or good crystallized sulfides.
