The matrix of this specimen is covered with druze white Quartz crystals that almost engulf the darker
colored, terminated Sphalerite crystals. Several small groups of yellow-gold color Chalcopyrite crystals are in
association. A very attractive combination of these two sulfides in contrasting color druze Quartz. The majority
of the Spahlerite crystals are complete and undamaged.
