Locality: Dongxiang Co., Fuzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, China
 
Exquisite Dolomite nodules with rosette-like and radial arrangement perched onto Quartz matrix with iridescent Chalcopyrite and Galena intergrown. From the world renowned Dongxiang Co. of China, this came out from a November 2020's small deposit and I've been lucky enough to have acquired a small lot of these gorgeous pieces. Like other minerals with a cubic crystal structure, Galena of this piece shows an interesting and distinct tetrahedral crystal habit. Metallic brassy gold Chalcopyrite crystals with rainbow iridescence embedded in the Quartz matrix add real pizzazz to the piece, fantastic! Comes with a high quality acrylic display case.
