Description

Interesting old timer from Damour: a sulfide ore-quartz matrix hosts gunmetal grey tetrahedrite crystals, some sphalerite and quartz crystals, more sulfides present in matrix.

Came with severeal other fahlore specimens from Romania, most of them were labeled as being from Cavnic, so this would be an educated guess.

Nice old Damour pen and ink label.
