Item Description

Fabulous iridescence to the sculptural clusters of sparkly chalcopyrite crystals, that dramatically cover several sides of the sculptural large matrix plate on this striking and colorful specimen from the famous Brushy Creek Creek. The crystals, to about 8 mm, have stunning neon peacock-blue, teal-blue, magenta and golden colors. While these can be treated to enhance the color, this piece was purchased from a friend who bought them directly from the miner who collected it.
