CHALCOPYRITE GALENA RHODOCHROSITE

An unusual combo specimen featuring Chalcopyrite Galena Rhodochrosite and a little Mangano Calcite in one piece. The Galena Crystals when seen up close are amazing and also the Chalcopyrite crystals are very visible. Even better under magnification of course. The little Mangano Calcite crystals are fluorescent under long wave UV light as shown in the photos. The Rhodochrosite is also a pale pink which the photos don’t show well.

GALENA CLUSTER SMALL

You don’t have to sacrifice quality for size as this Galena Cluster Small specimen shows. What a cool little piece, an interesting cluster with some skeletal and some twinned crystals.
