Fluorite with Chalcopyrite Casapalca, Huarochiri Province, Lima Department, Peru 8.26cm x 4.82cm x 4.3cm Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection #1126

Description/Interesting Notes: A wonderfully aesthetic and very unusual example of fluorite and chalcopyrite from Peru!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of colorful purple, botryoidal fluorite crystals in aesthetic association with brilliant, golden crystals of chalcopyrite!!! The fluorite crystals have glassy luster, almost gemmy translucent clarity, and gorgeous purple color!!! The color is WAY better than the pics show!!! The luster and clarity are incredibly fine for a botryoidal fluorite (often times the complex habit results in poor clarity and luster)!!! While the botryoidal crystals exhibits characteristic, bubbly, rounded forms there are a few areas where one can see a couple discernable, slightly rounded cubic faces!!! The chalcopyrite crystals have highly complex habits with brilliant golden metallic luster!!! This specimen is very unusual and is incredibly eye-catching in person!!! Curiously, there are a couple tiny areas of unidentified, bluish mineralization in a couple areas as well!!! Simply incredible, aesthetic material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer and retains an original collection label as well!!!
