The Archduke Stephan Collection contained many rare mineral species, including this excellent specimen of the lead-gold-tellurium-antimony sulphide Nagy'gite. This specimen is from the Nagy'gite type locality at S?c?r'mb (Nagy'g) in Romania. Bright silver plates of Nagy'gite to 5 mm long and wide by about 0.2 mm thick richly line vugs and crevasses in a bed of pale pastel-pink Rhodochrosite rosettes averaging 2 to 6 mm across. A hard manganese-rich layered and veined rock forms the underlying matrix. An excellent specimen of Nagy'gite from Romania.
