Slightly pink scalenohedral crystals of calcite to 0.5 cm in size covering the top of this matrix. Brilliant golden micro crystals of chalcopyrite are scattered throughout. Minimal micro-cleaving present, this still in good condition and makes for a neat specimen for this locality. The calcite crystals are fluorescent red under longwave ultraviolet light.
