Calcite with Chalcopyrite

Unknown Owner
Wow, a super small cabinet specimen of towering composite Calcite crystals to 7 cm tall from Greystone quarry at Lezant in Cornwall. Flattened rhombic prisms of mildly pink tinged creamy Calcite stack to form the composite crystals and on these are perched two small clusters of iridescent Chalcopyrite crystals. A lovely small cabinet specimen from Greystone quarry.
