Description

Rich matrix miniature hosting a number of tubular aggregates of cylindrite. Arranged in typical pipe-like aggregates, they are fresh and show good metallic lustre. On the matrix, some other mixed sulfides (unidentified).

In very good conditions for the specie and locality. From the former stock of the late renowned Italian collector and dealer Bruno Cerato. The indicated weight includes the plastic box, as the specimen is well fixed with blue tack.

thanks to a knowledgeable friend, I was made aware that the specimen is actually from Itos mine (now corrected). This is an important change, because Itos mine has produced good quality cylindrite, often terminated
