Large, pyramidal, slate-gray crystals of Chalcopyrite coated with Tetrahedrite, to 3.5 cm in length, have grown in and around translucent, pastel gray, crystals of quartz which reach the same length. There does not appear to be any damage or contact except at the extreme periphery of this matrix specimen. The cluster just floats up there, perfect as can be! Very rare in such aesthetic form!
