description:
I think an extra nice example for the species from an unusual locality. Thin prismatic metallic crystals of acanthite to 1.4 cm in length throughout this open pocket with crystallized pyrrhotite, these being replaced by pyrite. Minor calcite, quartz, and chalcopyrite present as well. This is in very good condition.
