Description

This is a superb and also remarkable specimen because an excellent spray of hubnerite is exposed on a cluster of golden pyrite. Both species are so far I can see undamged. The raven-black hubnerite is a little bit tabular in cross-section, mostly excellent terminated and well defined. Termination and development applies for the pyrite as well. It is also multifaced and features an interesting growing pattern on some faces. A super piece, very contrastful and in this association.
