Item Description

Enargite specimens are RARE from this copper and precious metal deposit. A showy forest of nubby, matte-metallic, gray to brown, tabular crystals to about 2.5 cm project upward from the solid matrix of intergrown enargite crystals. The one broken crystal and periphery wear are certainly only modest detractions to this excellent and rare two-sided ore specimen from this well-known deposit. Probably older material, but no proof. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection.
