Item Description
Famatinite is a rare copper-antimony sulfosalt found in low to moderate temperature copper deposits. This is an exceptional and rich specimen from this uncommon locale of knobby aggregates of sharp, metallic-gray crystals covering the crystallized pyrite matrix. Famatinite is found on both sides of this extremely rich and very rarely available combination example of the species and locale. Ex old Larry Krause dealer stock. Valued $400
