Description |
A classic and old-time Sperrylite specimen from the historic type locality. This specimen has a (large for this locality) 4 mm, sharp, splendent Sperrylite crystal set atop iridescent Chalcopyrite-rich matrix. Excellent, highly representative material from a famous mine and locality. But in superb quality - the eye visible crystal is mirror bright. This is undoubtedly old material probably from the late 1800s, as it has an old label on the back of the specimen. |
