Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of tennantite from Butte!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of sharp, brilliant crystals of
tennantite in association with pyrite and quartz!!! The tennantite is present as complexly modified, intergrown tetrahedral
crystals with razor-sharp faces and brilliant metallic luster!!! The crystals are in magnificent condition and range in size up to
1cm!!! There are some pyrite crystals and small groups of tiny quartz points in association as well!!!
Upon close inspection one can see that the darkly colored material (unidentified) that covers much of the matrix is actually well crystallized as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MAY 3rd!!!
