Item Description
A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME combination specimen from historic Cornwall, England. Lustrous, brassy, lightly iridescent, chalcopyrite crystals to 1.1 cm with textbook, tetragonal form are richly and nicely scattered on the quartz matrix with charcoal-gray tetrahedrite crystals. Certainly over 100 years old in this quality. These are really sharp chalcopyrite crystals for Cornwall.
