- Chalcopyrite's formation exhibits fracture and has a brassy luster which make it an excellent tool for studying economic geology, and is great for us in comparative identification exercises
- Each specimen is selected and hand processed, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
- Sourced from a variety of locations around the world
- Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification
