FA77: Again, something extremely unusual from Martín. This well formed Chalcocite which is aerial on the Calcite matrix comes from Chile. On Oliete's label the location is written as being Chuquicamata. After hard investigations about Chilean mineral localities I'm able to tell that it must came from Copiapó and I'm also able to say that I have never seen anything similar in my life and I'm sure that not too much other people have either. Well, it is good, sharp and extremely original.
