Excellent crystals of Tennantite to 2.3 cm with excellent mirror-like luster. Crystals of this size and quality are simply not that common from this district, or anywhere else, for that matter. The matrix is composed of a fine pyrite druse with beautiful quartz crystals intergrown. One trivial tiny ding but otherwise Superb!
