Exceptional for a St Andreasberg stephanite (which are rare to begin with!), this is a sharp thumbnail with lustrous, metallic crystals to 1 cm. The major 2 crystals are undamaged on their front but are connected at their bases, along the matrix, by a third, now-broken crystal. However, the piece still shows to dramatic effect and the quality of the other crystals is high.
