Lead gray crystallized groupings of native arsenic to 0.5 cm in diameter across the top of a crystallized quartz matrix with minor stibnite. The quartz crystals appear to be forming replacements after now gone bladed crystals of barite. Very minimal micro-damage present. This is a very fine example for the species.
