Item Description
Lustrous, sharp, dark metallic-gray tetrahedrite tetrahedrons form a rich and aesthetic mounded specimen from this noted locale and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The crystals, to 2.0 cm, are colorfully accented with golden chalcopyrite coatings and a few crystals, along with four small sprays of quartz points along the edges. Classic and pristine combination material, probably from the 1970s finds, with none of this quality, since. Valued by Herb at $400, more than 5 years ago.
