Description

Excellent small Saxon proustite group. The label indicates the presence of stephanite.

Indeed close inspection shows the presence of another mineral at the back of the specimen, but I cannot confirm for sure that this is stephanite.

One can expect, however, that this is also a silver mineral. The little specimen displays beautifully and is old material with minimal damage.
