Calcite name is from chalix the Greek word for lime. This is a most amazing yet, common mineral. Comprising about 4% by weight of the Earth’s crust and formed in many different geological environments. Calcite can form rocks of considerable mass and constitutes a significant part of all three major rock classification types. It forms oolitic, fossiliferous and massive limestones in sedimentary environments. Calcite serves as the cements for many sandstones and shales. Limestone becomes marble from the heat and pressure of metamorphic events.

Pyrite Mineral Specimen Images
A major ore of copper. Common in sulfide veins and disseminated in igneous rocks.
Weathering may lead to the formation of malachite, azurite, brochantite, langite and numerous other secondary copper minerals.
Chalcopyrite (or copper pyrite), looks like, and is easily confused with Pyrite, FeS2. Chalcopyrite is one of the minerals refered to as “Fool’s Gold” because of its bright golden colour. But real gold is a more buttery yellow and is ductile and malleable.
As an ore of copper, the yield of chalcopyrite is rather low in terms of atoms per molecule. It is only 25%, compared to other copper minerals such as chalcocite, Cu2S – 67%; cuprite, Cu2O – 67%; covellite, CuS – 50% or bornite Cu5FeS4 – 50%. However the large quantities and widespread distribution of chalcopyrite make it the leading source of copper. Chalcopyrite is a common mineral and is found in almost all sulfide deposits. Fine crystals of chalcopyrite have a unique character and can add to anyone’s collection.

Quartz, Silicon Dioxide:
SiO2.
One of the most common minerals found in the Earth’s crust. If pure, quartz forms colourless, transparent and very hard crystals with a glass-like luster. Quartz is a significant component of many igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Silicon dioxide is found in a wide range of varieties and colours. Quartz in its polished form, was the most advanced technology thousands of years ago.

CHALCOPYRITE CRYSTAL CLUSTER
CHALCOPYRITE CRYSTAL CLUSTER
A beautiful bright Chalcopyrite Crystal Cluster. This Chalcopyrite Crystal Cluster had to be removed from our shop as too many customers couldn’t help them selves and kept touching it. Eventually all metals will tarnish if people keep touching them and they will loose their shiny brightness. This is the best we have seen for a solid cluster of Chalcopyrite worthy of museum grade or serious collection. This Chalcopyrite is very shiny and reflective. Chalcopyrite is Pyrite with Copper which gives it a more realistic look of gold. A great chunky specimen which has taken millions of years for nature to produce. This specimen is mounted on a perspex pad for enhanced display.

SPARKLING PYRITE CRYSTALS
Beautifully simple Sparkling Pyrite Crystals with very reflective faces. Great addition for mineral, metals or pyrite collections. The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, is an iron sulfide which has the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral’s metallic luster and brass yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool’s gold. Interestingly Pyrite does not attract a magnet. This specimen comes from a premier location and sports a mini cave cavity right through.

GALENA CLUSTER SMALL
GALENA CLUSTER SMALL
You don’t have to sacrifice quality for size as this Galena Cluster Small specimen shows. What a cool little piece, an interesting cluster with some skeletal and some twinned crystals. It will only take up a small amount of space in the collection, though I suspect front of shelf too. Galena is one of those really collectible metals that comes from a range of locations and in different shapes. I love the Bulgarian variety and you could have a whole collection of different ones from that location alone.
