Description

Chalcopyrite with Quartz
Akita Prefecture, Japan
15.6 x 12.0 x 6.7 cm (6.14 x 4.72 x 2.64 in)

Golden Chalcopyrite crystals densely coat a Quartz matrix from Ugo, Japan, creating a rich, metallic surface broken up by bright white Quartz points. The contrast between the brassy luster and the clean Quartz adds texture and visual rhythm across the piece. Specimens from this Japanese locality are admired for their distinctive style, and this example captures that appeal with a bold, polished look.

From the collection of Daniel "Dan" R. Kennedy.
Ex. Crunden collection.
Ex. Dick Hauck collection.
