Calcite with Chalcopyrite, Galena

Unknown Owner
Lustrous pale yellow gemmy prismatic crystals of calcite measuring to 2.2 cm in length on matrix with crystallized dolomite and golden chalcopyrite. There might be a few minor crystals that are slightly cleaved, I think that when one considers the number of crystals upon this piece, this is in very good condition. Fluorescent red under longwave ultraviolet light.
