Large specimen of solid Sphalerite coated by Chalcopyrite with attached crystals of Chalcopyrite. The entire front is colored golden by the Chalcopyrite and at first glance it's hard to tell where the sphalerite stops and the Chalcopyrite crystals start - it looks like solid Chalcopyrite crystals from the front. A large and spectacular USA classic valued at $350.
