This is a fine ore specimen from Falun in Sweden. Shiny silver metallic aggregates and grains of relatively rare sulfosalt Galenobismutite accompanied by tarnished, golden grains of Chalcopyrite, very richly embedded in Quartz. I have not seen many good items from Falun over the years,- and this is definitely a good one.
