Calcite with Galena, Dolomite, Chalcopyrite

Unknown Owner
Very attractive golden yellow mostly gemmy lustrous scalenohedral crystals of calcite measuring to 13.0 cm in height on a breccia matrix with minor crystals of galena and dolomite. Chalcopyrite present as well. Slight cleaving to some of the galena on the matrix, to me this is not a big deal. The calcite crystals are in excellent condition.
