Wonderful specimen. The nowackiite is an extremely rare sulfosal found in very few specimens, exclusively in its type locality, the renowned quarry of Lengenbach, Switzerland. Very few samples are known that show sharp crystals. In this sample a wonderful, shiny, steel-gray crystal, is above (this is a classic) a honey-yellow crystal of sphalerite. The specimen is analyzed from a scientist among the most expert about this locality and is possible to see in the "analysis" section, the photos and the graph of the analysis, which accompany this exceptionally rare specimen.
