Description from the seller

Quartz cluster with Calcite coating and Chalcopyrite crystals from Droujba mine, Djurkovo Complex, Laki, Laki Municipality, Plovdiv Province, Bulgaria.

An attractive quartz cluster richly coated with sparkling calcite and dotted with balls of chalcopyrite crystals from the well-known Droujba Mine, Djurkovo Complex, Laki, Plovdiv Province, Bulgaria. The quartz crystals form a three‑dimensional carpet of points, softened by a delicate calcite overgrowth that adds texture and subtle contrast. Scattered chalcopyrite crystals provide golden metallic highlights, creating a lively, eye‑catching display.

This specimen is a classic example of the fine quartz–calcite–chalcopyrite associations for which the Droujba Mine is appreciated, making it an excellent addition to any collection of Bulgarian ore-field minerals.
