“Dragon Scale” Calcite with Iridescent Chalcopyrite | Sweetwater Mine, Missouri A rare Sweetwater Mine specimen featuring sharply formed, elongated golden calcite blades rising from a densely textured matrix coated in natural iridescent chalcopyrite. The calcite crystals are well-defined and translucent with soft honey-yellow saturation and crisp terminations. Beneath them, overlapping micro-crystals create the signature “dragon scale” texture — a reptilian surface formed by tightly packed calcite and glittering chalcopyrite. Architectural, rare, and unmistakably from this historic locality. Origin: Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri Material: Calcite with Iridescent Chalcopyrite Formation: Natural “Dragon Scale” calcite One-of-a-kind mineral specimen
