Item Description
Exemplary and very impressive pseudomorph of Tennantite after Enargite. Normally, you are lucky, and equally happy, to have one good crystal pseudomorphed. Here, you have numerous large bladed crystals altered and standing well above the matrix, while there are over a dozen smaller pseudomorphed crystals. The largest of these amazing bladed pseudos is 4.5 x 3.5 cm. Outstanding! The pseudomorphs are lustrous, sparkly, and well-defined. Much better in person. A truly great pseudomorph probably from finds of the early 1990s.
