 | There has been a large find in about 2000 putting alot of specimens on the market. So these have been the bargains in the mineral world. Even so this would probably have a retail price of about $400. There are large Tetrahedrite crystals with contrasting white Quartz. It stands up on its own for display. It is probably an older one before this latest find since it was with the Gil Griffin collection. Some rubbing on the Tetrahedrite edges which seems to be the norm for this relatively soft sulfide. Sphalerite and Pyrite matrix. ex Gil Griffin collection. |
