An old-time, very rich and fine tetrahedrite specimen from the historic Tintic District of Utah. Lustrous, lightly iridescent, brassy, tetrahedral tetrahedrite crystals cover two sides of the drusy quartz covered sulfide matrix. Ex. Sunshine Acres School and N.A. Wintringham Collection. Classic and rarely available material from this venerable locale and probably dates to prior to World War I.
