Triangular Tetrahedrite Crystal

There was a small pocket that produced these Tetrahedrite specimens about 5 years ago, and they are some of the finest quality Tetrahedrite specimens from Bolivia. This specimen features on predominant tetrahedron with very sharp faces and extremely highly luster sitting on matrix.
