Item Description
Mineral specimens from this Julcani District mine are RARE. Complex, lustrous, dark metallic-gray, tennantite crystals to 1.7 cm cover this large undulating plate. The thin underlying matrix is composed of pyrite, quartz crystals and tennantite. The bit of scattered bruising and periphery wear have minimal impact to the high quality, richness and rarity of this showy large ore specimen from the Matioli Collection.
