4993 00atadgs ((MANGANOAN CALCITE, CHALCOPYRITE, TETRAHEDRITE)), $125 MINIMUM BID, Casapalca Mine, Huarochiri Province, Lima Department, Peru, 13 x 8 x 8 cm, Cabinet | |
Here is a fine specimen with large light pinkish white Manganoan Calcite crystals completely covering a Sphalerite matrix covered with Tetrahedrite crystals. The Tetrahedrite crystals can be seen with the view from the back. The Manganoan Calcite crystals are also peppered with Chalcopyrite crystals. The Manganoan Calcite crystals are in remarkable shape. I used an optivisor and I only see two or three of the smaller crystals missing aka broken off at the base. This is from the retail stock at $700 |
