_small.jpg) | Uncommon Peruvian Mine for specimens. Only a few photos on mindat.org. It looks like a specimen of Spalerite but label says with Enargite. Hard to tell where the with Enargite is since black on black. Looking further with a loop I see lustrous black crystals with parallel striations which should be the Enargite while the lustrous black crystals with the triangular striations are typical Sphalerite crystals. Nice association touch of minor Quartz and Pyrite at the top. ex Don Fratto collection. |
