Good sized, colorful specimen from Peru consisting of Pyrite, large Chalcopyrite, and Quartz crystals atop a matrix of crystallized Sphalerite. The Chalcopyrite crystals are impressive reaching 3.5cm in size. I particularly like a hollow Chalcopyrite on the edge with cubic crystals of Pyrite inside.
