Rare Dragon Scale Calcite | Sweetwater Mine
“Dragon Scale” Calcite with Iridescent Chalcopyrite | Sweetwater Mine, Missouri
A rare Sweetwater Mine specimen featuring sharply formed, elongated golden calcite blades rising from a densely textured matrix coated in natural iridescent chalcopyrite.
The calcite crystals are well-defined and translucent with soft honey-yellow saturation and crisp terminations. Beneath them, overlapping micro-crystals create the signature “dragon scale” texture — a reptilian surface formed by tightly packed calcite and glittering chalcopyrite.
Architectural, rare, and unmistakably from this historic locality.
Origin: Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri
Material: Calcite with Iridescent Chalcopyrite
Formation: Natural “Dragon Scale” calcite
One-of-a-kind mineral specimen
