A very sharp miniature featuring a cluster of sulfides about its center, lapping up against a gemmy quartz point. The arsenopyrite is on the left, the stannite on the right, in crystals to just over 1 cm. The quartz has a tiny ding, which is why I have lowered the price below the Zinn appraisal price of $400.
