Superb, sharp chalcostibite crystals in a "bowtie" cluster atop matrix, make this one of the better ones I have seen for sale in recent years. This was found at what really is an old classic locality, but recently in a lucky find of the early 1990s. Most people consider these to be the best examples of their species, for display purposes.
