Stannite on Quartz
While very attractive on the surface level, this combination specimen is far more interesting than it seems, in terms of the mineralogical value. Throughout a forest of flashy, terminated Quartz crystals are highly contrasting associations of Arsenopyrite and the rare Sulphide mineral Stannite. Both of the associated minerals have a strong metallic luster and stand out wonderfully with a deep brassy-yellow color. Most of the Quartz crystals are included and lightly dusted with dark microcrystals, which nicely highlight some of the crystal faces and edges. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
