WOW! What a killer specimen of this rare silver-telluride! Sharp and well formed hessite crystals form a beautiful group right in the center of a nicely contrasting quartz matrix. Maximum crystal size is 6 mm across. No damage, no repair, the overall aestetics are amazing, given the rarity of the species!
