JFD121AO4: One hell of a piece! Many Chalcopyrite crystals with a curious morphology, good luster and color and as a floater in which the Arsenopyrite culminates the piece in its upper part and the omnipresent Siderite covers a little of everything, but without invading the rest of the species.
Not only are apatites and ferberites world-class in Panasqueira, but sometimes other species are as well.
