Item Description

OUTSTANDING Chalcopyrite specimen from the Gyudyurska mine in Bulgaria. A good combination piece on its own merits, with the Chalcopyrite associated with 1 cm Quartz on a matrix of Sphalerite, it is the Chalcopyrite that is the star of the piece. Looking like a virtual Alpine horn, the 2.5 cm Chalcopyrite is bright, brassy, and attractively striated. As a single-specimen piece or as combination, this is a fine, venerable miniature from quality, but rarely seen, locality which is related to the Madan mines.
