A truly stereotypical example of the classic "blister ore" that miners loved even more than the finer crystallized minerals of the day. Why not...its really neat and attractive!? However, because they were not valued so highly at the time by more prominent colelctors, few have been preserved in good shape. this is excellent for the size because of its luster, color, 3-dimensionality, and aesthetic quality.
