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 if you have corrected it.

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

Dimensions: 65mm X 55mm x 30mm | Very nice, Philippe, I love combinations of different sulfide minerals. And I'm glad you finally managed to get a cleiophane from Krushev Dol Mine - I remember you told me some time ago that you tried to get one after I managed to get mine ( https://www.mindat.org/photo-749746.html ) :)
Congratulations
Tobi

Very nice spessartine from Tongbei, and by the way: I think the first photo of it is much better.
