Stannite on Zinkenite

Item Description

These specimens came out of this mine years and years ago, but are still some of the most unique and rare association specimens from any locality. This piece features some lustrous, sharp, dark "brass" colored, twinned crystals of the rare copper iron tin sulfide Stannite sitting atop lustrous, metallic grey color "needle"-like prisms of the lead antimony sulfide Zinkenite. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only locality in the world where these two species are found together. There were only a handful of these specimens found. This is a choice specimen for anybody interested in the material.
