Item Description

Striking, splendent, golden stepped-growth chalcopyrite sphenoids, to 1.5 cm, are dramatically set on the mounded matrix of highly lustrous, striated jet-black sphalerite crystals accented with a single well-placed, 1.3 cm, lustrous gray melted-look galena crystal. Such combinations in this richness (especially the chalcopyrite crystals) and quality are RARE from famed Huanzala Mine. Very choice combination material.
