Item Description

A striking, very aeshetic row of highly lustrous and striated, metallic-gray, enargite crystals from the very famous Pasto Bueno District of Peru. The sharp crystals are all fully terminated and pristine, and you barely notice that one crystal is broken. This is an outstanding example of the species and locale, as enargite in this quality is RARE from Pasto Bueno, which is much better known for its world-class hubnerite and rhodochrosite specimens. This super piece can be displayed from both sides with equal quality! Ex Tarnowski Collection.
