Cavnic mine in Romania is well-known for razor sharp Tetrahedrite crystals. In modern mineralogical terminology Tetrahedrite is no longer an individual species, but a subgroup with many members. There are currently no specific records of which species within this subgroup the Cavnic mine specimens belong. This large miniature specimen is a Cavnic classic displaying dark grey metallic tetrahedral crystals to 1.3 cm on edge sat on a bright white Calcite-rich matrix. The Tetrahedrite crystals are really well-formed with some twinning also evident.

Tetrahedrite from Cavnic Mine, Romania
Cavnic tetrahedrite is one of the classic European sulfide specimens: sharp steel-gray to black metallic tetrahedra, commonly bright enough to throw hard reflections under a lamp, scattered across quartz, calcite, rhodochrosite, pyrite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite. The best pieces have exactly the look collectors want from tetrahedrite: broad triangular faces, crisp modified edges, high luster, and a pleasing contrast against pale quartz or carbonate gangue.
