Tetrahedrite (mined 1977) (ex Rich Kosnar specimen)

Item Description

The Sweet Home mine is famous for its Rhodochrosite specimens, but it has produced some VERY nice sulfides as well. For those who don't know, Richard Kosnar and his father-in-law Dave Bergman mined the Sweet Home for a few years during the late 1970's and managed to collect some excellent specimens. This piece is from one of the first pockets that they opened when they started mining the Sweet Home. This specimen features sharp, lustrous, metallic, silvery crystals of Tetrahedrite measuring up to 6 mm with Quartz and sulfides on matrix. This piece was collected in 1977.
