Item Description

One almost never sees these specimens on the market anymore, but they simply are some of the best quality crystallized Tennantites from the western hemisphere. This is a very good quality and showy cabinet specimen featuring sharp, well-formed, modified (cube / dodecahedron) crystals of Tennantite with smaller Tennantite crystals on white Quartz matrix. The largest crystal measures 8 mm across. Worth picking up from this noted copper producer in central Mexico. It's nearly crystallized all the way around as well. Priced at $1400.
