Description

This is an exceptional  rare example of the lead/silver/antimony sulfide Fizelyite. These came out in the early to mid-1900s (and some even earlier) and are often confused with semseyite - although this is much rarer and has obvious differences to the eye, in person. The thin hairy crystals are scattered between lustrous sphalerite - for fizelyte are really beautiful piece.
