Sharp, pyramidal, steel-gray tennantite crystals are richly and aesthetically strewn on the cabinet matrix on this fine specimen from the Tsumeb Mine. Lustrous, gray dolomite rhombs are a nice compliment. The pristine crystal at the top is 2.6 cm. Older material from this renowned locale. Ex. Wes Parker Collection.
