Rare mineral from this locality better known for it’s vivid inclusions of Ajoite and Papagoite in Quartz crystals and clusters of varying sizes. Not only is this a great example of the species itself, but also for the locality. There looks to be two generations of growth, two crystals have grown together to form the bulk of the specimen while on both sides are several smaller crystals, many of them quite sharp! To have a Chalcocite from here in one’s possession is a rare treat for sure!
