A novelty at St. Marie 2012. Irregular aggregates of short disphenoidal crystals of Chalcopyrite with a false appearance of the tetrahedron. They have very well defined faces and edges, are extraordinarily bright, partially iridescent in some areas on the sample, and some of them are very individualized. They are on matrix, with Quartz crystals.Bou Nahas, Oumjrane area, Alnif, Er Rachidia, Morocco.Found in 12/2011-01/2012Specimen size: 10.5 × 8.3 × 6.7 cm = 4.1” × 3.3” × 2.6”Main crystal size: 0.7 × 0.6 cm = 0.3” × 0.2”
