ex. Dr. Werner Paar Collection A rare locality specimen that is both attractive and richly crystallized, this piece features cog-wheel twins up to 8 mm, on a matrix of sphalerite, pyrite and jamesonite. Nice crystallized example of a species not very common in these deposits and treasured from other localities - so it is hard to find a good Romanian example for a worldwide suite of this species.
