A sharp cluster of metallic tetrahedrite crystals in a pleasing geometric arrangement. We all liked this specimen as a Schauss thumbnail because it is a cluster that is a full sized and dramatic thumbnail specimen, when most are simply singles. Laszlo Kupi photo. Recently featured in the book, Refined Elegance (Mineralogical Record, Nov. 2022) on page 98.
