Nice and balanced piece with great chalcopyrite color! Thanks for writing the dimensions properly (65mm x 55mm x 30mm). The other and usual way (65 x 55 x 30mm) is not correct.

thank you Gérard
yes, you guess very well, the matrix is quartz
strangely the matrix has globally a stalagmitic form with quartz pointing all around
