You might think you are being red garnets. But its really a light reflection

You will find it difficult to put this one down once it is in your hand.
There are so many discoveries to enjoy.


Pyrrhotie is brassy in color; most dark areas are bornite, Chalcopyrite is the usual golden color and as said above Chalcocite in black.
These minerals are very tightly packed together.
