Fluorite with Marcasite & Chalcopyrite Annabel Lee mine, Hardin Co., Illinois 8.62cm x 6.87cm x 5.07cm Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum No. DM-19836

Description/Interesting Notes: A most peculiar and unique example of fluorite with marcasite and chalcopyrite from the Annabel Lee Mine!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of glowing, golden fluorite crystals that host a most spectacular growth of marcasite and chalcopyrite crystals!!! The marcasite is present as peculiar crystalline tubes that exhibit all manner of curly, curvaceous, and tapering forms!!! Upon close study, one can see that these "tubes" are indeed comprised of tiny crystals!!! Thes tubes are actually quite stable and sturdy despite their delicate appearance!!! The chalcopyrite crystals are present only directly on the faces of the fluorite crystals and are more golden and mirror-brilliant than the marcasite tubes!!! The chalcopyrite crystals make for a showy contrast from the marcasite crystals and, more importantly, highlight the edges and cubic forms of the underlying crystals of golden yellow fluorite!!! This is a magnificent and incredibly unique specimen indeed!!! This specimen retains an older dealer label as well as A.E. Seaman Museum notation!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
