Iridescent Chalcopyrite on Quartz (Wes Parker Coll.)

Item Description

Striking, iridescent, golden to magenta, chalcopyrite crystals are richly and aesthetically strewn on the quartz crystal matrix plate on this classic and super combination piece from the famous Casapalca Mine of Peru. The large, sharp, chalco is 2.0 cm and is typically for the locale, twinned. A few, barely noticeable quartz crystals are broken, but that's it. The color contrast with the iridescence is dramatic, indeed. Ex Wes Parker Collection.
