Chalcopyrite with Sphalerite (Ref: 7.AE-260)
Huaron Mines, Huaron Mining District, San jose de Huayllay District, Pasco Department, Peru
63mm x 54mm x 18mm
minID: GRT-XJ4
Large well-formed Chalcopyrite crystals surround sharp, bright lustrous black Sphalerites. Ex Gene Meieran collection, this is in excellent condition, from Huaron. An earlier label gives an incorrect locality however this is classic for the mine. The largest complete Chalcopyrite crystal is 4.4 CM across. The display face of this piece is remarkable in that it is undamaged. Chalcopyrite is a very delicate mineral and larger crystals almost always have some "issues". The Sphalerite crystals are complete and undamaged as well, what may look like breakage in some photos is simply complex stepped faces that have epitaxial structures.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
