This is a super Tyrolian specimen of mercurian tetrahedrite "schwazite". Ususally most of the crystals are embedded in matrix and they are groomed out,- but this crystal is grown on crystallized milky quartz. The multifaced schwazite is steel grey in colour and highly metallic lustrous. Of course pristine all around. A super piece and in this special case consequently exceeding rare.
