Chalcocite with Calcite

Unknown Owner
Outstanding example for this species from this mining complex. A grouping of bladed metallic chalcocite crystals to 2.1 cm across standing up from a matrix coated by crystallized calcite. Micro-chipping present but very sparse and tiny, I think that this is in great condition.
