A majestic large grouping of translucent scalenohedral calcite crystals coming off of a breccia matrix with bright crystallized chalcopyrite and minor galena. The crystals exhibit internal phantom crystals. The luster is excellent. Considering the size of this piece, it is in outstanding condition. Only a couple of the smaller lesser crystals show slight cleaving. Classic Missouri specimen.
