Description

A small individual featuring a half a dozen cogwheels of dark stephanite. The crystals are in good conditions, with medium lustre, and contrast well with the matrix, which also hosts a couple small masses of purple fluorite.

A very representative specimen from this classic region, it is very difficult to find on the market nowadays. I acquired it from a local collector in Freiberg several years ago, while there for my PhD.
