Tetrahedrite with Quartz

Item Description

The various ore bodies in Peru have produced some of the finest crystallized examples of various common sulfides in the world. These specimens were all the rage a few decades ago, and should still be appreciated by collectors for their quality. This attractive display specimen features sharp, well-formed, silvery-grey colored tetrahedra of Tetrahedrite measuring up to 1.2 cm associated with Quartz. The piece has only a tiny bit of visible damage, and looks better in person, so don't pass this one up if you collect sulfides or association pieces.
