Calcite with Chalcopyrite

Unknown Owner
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.
