Description: Chalcopyrite, Magnetite Locality: Aggeneys, Northern Cape Province, South Africa (Locality at mindat.org) Size: small cabinet, 7 x 6 x 4 cm MAGNETITE in Chalcopyrite I had never heard of anything from this mine except a few strangely formed rhodochrosites, until Charlie's Collection surfaced. He has a whole suite of strange sulfide combinations from this locality, for example this one featuring sharp alpine-quality magnetite in contrasting chalcopyrite matrix. The largest magnetite is 2 cm across. This is the best matrix specimen out of the whole lot of about 2 flats, which he had accumulated over the years from a worker at the mine. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.
