Image of the Week - Yin and Yang

Two minerals that fit together and have dramatically different colors

I took a field trip last week and went to my very first Gem and Mineral show. I found these two minerals, one is a Sphalerite (gray) and the other is Chalcopyrite (aqua). In my mind’s eye they fit together as Yin and Yang. Everything about the colors and patterns are opposite and yet they seem to belong together.
