An exceptional old-time specimen containing abundant argentopyrite as bronze-brown to gray-bronze, prismatic crystals and plates of pseudo-hexagonal twins. It is richly peppered with contrasting ruby red, scalenohedral single crystals and twins of proustite intergrown with and overgrowing calcite. Spectacular under the microscope!
