Chalcopyrite on Sphalerite w/ Calcite (Soregaroli Coll.)

Item Description

A striking and impressive combination from this famous mine. The mounded cluster of intergrown sphalerite crystals has an amazing glaze of shimmering, bronzy chalcopyrite. A fine field of sharp, iridescent, golden chalcopyrite crystals aesthetically caps the piece. The healed plate underside has a fine bonus, as it is totally covered with 3 generations of tiny calcite rhombs! Nearly a floater, the attachment point is on one side. Choice and excellent combination material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
