Attractive and highly reflective specimen of Chromite, Chalcopyrite, Pyrite, minor Olivine and some other tiny colorless minerals (Quartz?). Clean rock specimen that was broken apart at some point to show fresh interior and retains only one small section of residual matrix that contains green weathered Olivine etc.
Platy metallic crystals of Chromite dominate this specimen with a fair amount of rich gold colored Chalcopyrite and brass colored Pyrite concentrated in areas.
I streak tested the Chromite and it was brown, and either the Chromite attracts a magnet or there could be some Magnetite in the mix which I did not not see visually with magnification.
Old collection specimen from the 1950' or 60's to which there were several various Chromite specimens included and one label for them all, I will try to get a copy made of it and include it with the specimen listed here.
From Day Book Chromite Prospect, Yancy County, North Carolina.
