Chalcopyrite (M092)
Any mineral from Dzhezkazgan is generally more rare and hard to obtain, so Chalkopyrite is not a rare mineral, but from the locality it is rare! The crystal shows an out-standing dimension: it is almost 5cm tall! It shows a dark, nearly black layer with blue, iridiscent layer on some faces. The crystal is well shaped and complete all around and it is resting on tiny sparkling Quartz crystals. So there is a nice contrast, a remarkable crystal-size and a rare locality.
