Description

This fine 360° specimen features several excellent defined crystals of Stannite and Arsenopyrite contrastful perched on  a fine cluster of Rockcrystals. A showy and uncommonly fine Chinese combination specimen of  ball-like clusters and disk-shaped crystals of tombac-metallic-gray crystals attractively attached to silvery-brassy, highly lustrous and striated arsenopyrite crystal.  The stannites show often individual faces instead of the usual jumble you see from here, and this mine has produced the best in the world recently I would say. This is a really super aesthetic specimen for highes demands.
