Large impressive crystal groupings of metallic lustrous stannite measuring to 3.8 cm in size on a crystallized quartz and muscovite matrix. Bright lustrous golden crystals of chalcopyrite measuring to 1.0 cm in size present. One of these lesser crystals as slight micro-chipping present as shown up close in the video, overall this piece is in really good condition. Minor fluorite is present as well. Superb for the species.
