Dozens of very lustrous seligmannite crystals on top of an unidentified altered sulfide/sulfosalt (tennantite?), elegantly lying on a cluster of milky quartz and well formed golden pyrite crystals. A typical example of the Peruvian hydrothermal veins.
In great conditions, it is ideal for photomicrography. 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.
