Zinkenite with Stannite

Unknown Owner
A cluster of bright lustrous compact acicular metallic zinkenite crystals hosting non-lustrous somewhat rounded crystals of stannite. Some damage present to the zinkenite, not atypical of these. This is a good combination piece for both species. This is from the early 1980s.
