Item Description
A great association specimen from the famous Septemvri Mine (formerly the 9th of September Mine). The piece features a striated, metallic golden color crystal of Chalcopyrite measuring 1.4 cm, which is sitting amongst soft grey color, sharp cuboctahedra of Galena with lustrous black Sphalerite and prismatic Quartz. The piece is virtually damage free on the display side, and is good example of how a few crystallized sulfides can make for a really eye-catching display piece.
