Sphalerite with Calcite, Chalcopyrite, Dolomite

Unknown Owner
The top of this brecciated chert matrix is mostly covered with light pink rhombohedral crystals of dolomite. A cluster of pale yellow calcite crystals 5.5 cm in size is present, as long as many lustrous black twinned crystals of sphalerite to 1.5 cm in size. Smaller golden crystals of chalcopyrite are scattered throughout. This is in good condition. This would have been collected pre-1970.
