Aggregate, on matrix, of very well defined and bright Covellite microcrystals. They have an intense metallic blue iridescence. The sample is from a find in 1996. Subsequent finds have been sporadic, practically non-existent, either in that zone or the rest of the mine, which currently is now completely inactive.

TQA26XXX: Covellite with Pyrite

A historic and high-quality specimen. Platy to lamellar crystals of Covellite, very sharp and aerial, with metallic luster and very marked iridescences in which bluish tones dominate and, to a lesser extent, purplish ones. A multitude of bright golden Pyrite crystals sprinkle the Covellite crystals, forming a deep and intense color contrast that draws attention for its remarkably “fresh” appearance despite being an old specimen.
