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 nice small cabinet specimen featuring a many well-formed, modified (cube / dodecahedron) of Tennantite with smaller Tennantite crystals on Quartz matrix. The largest crystal measures 8 mm across. Worth picking up from this noted copper producer in central Mexico.
