Hi Don.... and Happy New Year to you as well!
While I think your specimen of Calcite with Chalcopyrite is aesthetic and interesting, I have to seriously question your given locality.
The Elmwood mining complex in Tennessee certainly produced many fine calcites and some small chalcopyrites, (usually as inclusions in fluorite), but your example most probably comes from the Viburnum Trend mining district in Missouri. It may also come from the Tristate Mining District, also in Missouri.
The expression of the calcite crystal like you show is just not from Tennessee and the accompanying larger iridescent chalcopyrites like you show were both from Missouri and not Tennessee.
I suggest you recheck the specimen label and from whom you acquired the specimen.
Anyone else on the forum agree or disagree with my identification of this specimen?
Happy New Year to all, BOB

| Yes, I also think it's not the style of calcite crystals from the Tennessee deposits we are used to seeing. Much more like to the ones from Missouri. I own several from both states.

Dear Bob and Carles,
Happy New Year to both of you and thank you for writing. I also questioned the location information on the label but I bought this specimen from a trusted dealer and even looked up whether chalcopyrite is found at Elmwood and it is, but I believe that both of your are correct and defer to your knowledge and experience. The Calcite indeed does not look like those from Elmwood and I have several of these. I will change the location information on my label and would appreciate very much if one of the administrators will make the necessary correction.
Sincerely,
Don

I myself might easily make the correction, but it's up to you to investigate whether the specimen is either from Viburnum Trend or from Tri-State District, which are not the same. If in doubt, I suggest you ask the dealer.
Have you too a happy New Year, Don.

I had the same thought - otherwise we can only give the state

Hi, James
The Tri-State District is located on three different states, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. What should we do then? Just write Tri-State Mining District, USA, as Mindat does? And what if the locality was Viburnum Trend, which is in Missouri?
