A highly aesthetic specimen composed of numerous lustrous, tetrahedral chalcopyrite crystals. They are accompanied by numerous cubic pyrite crystals with striated faces. Also present are black sphalerite crystals. Particularly notable are some partially corroded hexagonal fluorapatite crystals, which fluoresce under UV-OL light. A brilliant specimen for magnification.
