The matrix of this specimen is filled with grains and nuggets (to 0.1", 0.3cm) of gray, tarnished safflorite. Only a couple of crude crystal faces are visible, not enough to establish the orthorhombic form. There is some calcite and chalcopyrite associated with the safflorite. There is no damage to this specimen.
