There are a limited number of pieces from this locality and I was fortunate to source such a stunning specimen. This uniquely formed calcite is called "benz" calcite because it resembles the Mercedes Benz logo. Chalcopyrite sits on top of the calcite, which covers both sides of the matrix. These pieces are highly valuable and sought after..I've been hoarding this one in my personal collection for a while!
Photos show the specimen in indoor light. I try to capture how they look as accurately as possible. Please feel free to reach out for more photos or with additional questions.
