Pyramidal Tetrahedrite with Quartz
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
Large, pyramidal, slate-gray crystals of Tetrahedrite, to 3.5 cm in length, have grown in and around translucent, pastel gray, crystals of Quartz which reach the same length. There does not appear to be any damage or contact except at the extreme periphery of this matrix specimen. The tetra cluster just floats up there, perfect as can be! Very rare in such aesthetic form.
