Calcite over Chalcopyrite with Pink Dolomite – Kosovo

Description

Pale white, translucent calcite crystals, which sit atop a golden bed of twinned chalcopyrite crystals with a slight injection of dolomite – a carbonate mineral – to add complementary pink to the matrix bed. Calcite crystals beautifully sprout from the contrasting dark bed, which in itself sparkles and glints in the light. Measuring 88 x 62 mm, this exquisite display specimen comes from the Trepca Mine, Stan Terg, Mitrovica in Kosovo, which is a region which has only recently become safely accessible and is supplied with both a white card tray and information label.
