Item Description

Gorgeous golden iridescence, fabulous topographic layering and sculptural form characterize this very fine chalcopyrite specimen from Level 3 of this famous mine. A thin bed of pearlescent muscovite plates with calcite and siderite crystals underlies the piece. The chalcpyrite looks like a huge and unique, hoppered, golden pyromorphite crystal! Choice and showy material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
