A very fine specimen containing two rare lead-bismuth sulphosalts, Lillianite and Cosalite with brassy Chalcopyrite from the B?i?a mining district in Bihor County, Romania. The Lillianite with Cosalite both form steely to lead-grey broad acicular crystals of between 1 and 2.5 cm long, but not easily distinguished from each another. These form a skeletal-type pyramid rising above the surface of the Quartz and feldspar matrix.
