This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Chalcocite crystals, specifically the C016 / 5658 specimen. The dull black twinned crystal takes center stage against a backdrop of white calcite (schiefer spar), creating a striking contrast that immediately draws the viewer's attention. Originating from the renowned Levant mine in St. Just, Cornwall, UK, this mineral specimen is a testament to the geological wonders found within Great Britain. Its presence evokes thoughts of ancient formations and natural processes that have shaped our planet over millions of years. The studio shot captures every intricate detail and crystalline structure with remarkable precision. Each facet reflects light in its own unique way, revealing an array of textures and patterns that make this piece truly one-of-a-kind. As part of the calcite group, Chalcocite is classified as a carbonate mineral with sulfide properties. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its scientific value for researchers studying mineralogy and geology. This print serves as a window into Earth's rich history while simultaneously showcasing the artistic beauty found within nature's creations. It stands as a testament to both human curiosity and appreciation for our planet's vast treasures.
