A sparkling, really lustrous and fine example of the rare silver species stephanite. This elongated crystal has an unusual brightness and shine to it, and leaps out in a case or exhibit. It has the luster of a great rutile, and this is unusual for stephanite which often comes out etched or dull. It is complete all around and has fascinating, sharp castle-like terminations. A world-class thumbnail for the species.
