A sharp, complete-all-around, cluster of several intergrown and twinned tennantite crystals, featuring a very high degree of sharpness for this size of crystal. It is a floater, and to display it I have had a custom-made lucite base made for it so that it can stand upright. Erik Louw was a miner on the dioptase stope who traded extensively and accumulated one of the finest Tsumeb miniatures collections, purchased in entirety by the Sussmans in the late 1990's. 5 x 4.5 x 4 cm
