(updated 7/28/09)

__ Chalcopyrite and calcite, Huaron, Peru (#G05-788, $42) The color in this photo makes it look more like pyrite, but the true color is more yellowish as you'd expect from chalcopyrite.

barite, peru__ Barite, Miraflores, Huanaco Dept., Peru (# G06-861, #G06-867, $15 each). These are very clear, gemmy crystal clusters, and we have about 1/2 of a flat left.
