Fine thumbnail for the species and locality, non-lustrous but sharp crystals of stephanite measuring to 0.5 cm in size in a cluster without matrix. This is in very good condition. The San Genaro Mine, situated in the high-altitude Andean Cordillera within the Castrovirreyna district of Huancavelica, Peru, is renowned for its complex epithermal vein systems hosted in volcanic and sedimentary rock sequences. Regionally dominated by polymetallic vein and breccia mineralization where silver sulfosalts and precious metals predominate, the district has a rich historical legacy of exploitation dating back centuries to the colonial era. In modern times, the mine has gained international recognition among mineral collectors and museums for producing exceptional, world-class crystal specimens of rare silver-bearing sulfosalts and sulfides.
