A breathtaking rich and heavy sample full of  native bismuth crystallized as 3 dimensional stepped feathers and pyramids, growing out of a matrix of safflorite and cavernous quartz.  With nice metallic lustre, very showy. Selvage with Bergkristall quartz and hostrock. Not often seen and rare in this quality from Schneeberg, rather known from Schlema or Hartenstein.
