Tennantite with Chalcopyrite on Quartz

Cobre Mine, El Cobre, Mun. de Concepción del Oro, Zacatecas, Mexico

$575
Large Cabinet

94 x 61 x 78 mm overall
with up to 10 mm Tennantite crystals

A classic specimen from this classic locality! A large Barite crystal (81 mm long) is pseudomorphed by small white Quartz crystals to 3 mm, and richly covered with numerous shiny black Tennantite crystals to 10 mm, all perched on a knob of similar small Quartz points with Tennantite and Chalcopyrite. A large white Quartz crystal measuring 26 mm long, partly covered by smaller Quartz crystals, provides a nice accent at the base of the pseudomorph. This attractive old specimen dates to about the mid 1960s, when this collection was assembled. No obvious damage.

ex. Paul Edwards collection.

Specimen #  PE1496
