Dyscrasite is an uncommon silver antimonide and the world’s finest specimens come from the famous mines at Pribram. This is a sculptural small specimen with a nice metallic luster, and can be smooth to beautifully striated. These were found in the mid-1980s at this old mining site, before this mine closed in 1989.#2
