CHALCOPYRITE -
$225 (SOLD)
This piece looks much better in person, but sulfides
are not always the easiest of minerals to photograph.
Regardless, there are many fine twins of golden
Chalcopyrite with Sphalerite and Quartz crystals. This
piece has some minor damage.
Locality: Huaron mine, Pasco Dept., Peru
Specimen Size: 14 x 7.5 x 4.5 cm.

QUARTZ -
$145
There are many sharp, highly lustrous, gem Quartz
crystals that make this specimen so attractive with
great aesthetics, not to mention that there are two
crystals which grew exactly the same length and totally
parallel to one another. It appears to be one half of a
"Japan-Law" twin. Unfortunatley, there are some
damaged crystals, but this piece is unique.
Locality: Mundo Nuevo mine, La Libertad Dept., Peru
