This incredible specimen is a world class chalcocite for its size, reminiscent of Cornish pieces in its thickness and pedestal-like structure. It is complete ALL around, 360 degrees, and has gorgeous 3-dimensional form to it. The luster, in person, is somewhat better than it appears here. Comes with original Yedlin label on which he (i assume) drew a picture, a rough sketch, of the piece!
