Manganocalcite, Sphalerite, Chalcopyrite and Quartz

A profoundly attractive combination piece with tiny sprays of water clear Quartz popping out like small bouquets from the Sphalerite matrix. Brassy Chalcopyrites lend their contrast while doubly terminated milky centered Calcite scalenohedrons populate the center seam. Under UV the Calcites reveal manganese content. This one is so very pretty. Ex Mike Wortham
