A superb pair of tabular, metallic, Stephanite crystals. The two crystals are attached along three quarters of the rim, with the well-terminated, euhedral edge actually showing a gap between the two crystals. For something so simple in form, it really does have good appeal. Quality Stephanite is rare, and coveted by collectors of major silver species. Good aesthetics for what it is, and very interesting mineralogically.
