Product Description

This specimen highlights the aesthetic association between Chalcopyrite and Siderite, coming directly from the famous Kaiwu mine in Hezhang, Guizhou province, China. The piece is characterized by a particularly balanced two-tone distribution. One side of the mineral hosts a crystallized cluster of chalcopyrite with a remarkable natural iridescence, displaying purple, violet and golden hues of great intensity. The other side reveals large honey-coloured siderite crystals, whose clarity and vitreous luster offer an excellent counterpoint to the metallic structure of the sulphides. A compact and bright piece, ideal to add a touch of vibrant color and a beautiful geometric dynamic to a showcase collection.
