Item Description

Dyscrasite is uncommon silver antimonide and the worlds finest specimens come from the famous mines at Pribram. This is a stunning and sculptural miniature specimen by any standards. The blades and needles of dyscrasite range up to 2.9 cm long, have a nice metallic luster, and can be smooth to beautifully striated. The arrangement of the crystals in clusters gives this an aesthetic appeal that is almost unmatched for sheer dramatic display. These were found in the mid-1980s at this old mining site, before this mine closed in 1989.
