Tennantite with Quartz

Unknown Owner
A classic Mexican specimen showing metallic crystals of tennantite and groupings to 1.5 cm in size across a crystallized quartz matrix. This is in good condition. Really fine for the species, these were prevalent in the 1970s. Good examples are not often seen available today. The specimen at one time was part of the collection of Jack Halpern, San Francisco, California.
