A massively heavy sulfide specimen with an interesting 2.5 cm vug of highly lustrous, radiating sprays of jamesonite needles from one of the famous Vaux expeditions in the 1920s and 1930s. There may be other rare species present here, to be identified from thin sections, as much of interest was found in the old deposits here. Ex. Philadelphia Academy of Sciences Collection.
