Description

Two twinned "crystal-pakets" of pyrrhotite accompanied by multifaced and lead-grey lustrous galena. The pyrrhotite is excellent defined and sharp edged. The metallic luster showes a fine tarnishing what makes the golden colour a bit more tombac with a hue of blue iridescence. There is a fine striation on the surface as well. This is a fine and aesthetic "Russian" from a classic locality.
