Glossy black sphalerite with quartz and chalcopyrite

Excellent specimen of Sphalerite, Quartz and Chalcopyrite (crystals on matrix), from Pachapaqui, Bolognesi Province, Ancash, Peru, completely natural and of excellent mineralogical value. The sphalerite crystals, glossy black in color, show well-defined faces and sharp tabular geometries, in association with aggregates of golden chalcopyrite and small acicular crystals of transparent quartz that cover part of the matrix. The chromatic contrast between the bright black of the sphalerite, the metallic gold of the chalcopyrite, and the white crystalline quartz gives the piece a notable aesthetic impact. These features add aesthetic and mineralogical value to the piece. This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the realm of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species. All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with rare exceptions always noted in the description. Photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight tonal variations may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
