Calcite with Chalcopyrite

Unknown Owner
A highly aesthetic cluster of scalenohedral calcite crystals that are semi-transparent with a nice smoky gray color. The calcites are partially coated by very sparkly, rainbow-iridescent chalcopyrite crystals. This kind of specimen is classic for the Brushy Creek Mine. (Ex. Richard Inden collection)
