specimen number:
8121610
location:
Panasqueira mines, Beira Baixa, Portugal
description:
Wonderful lustrous bladed crystals of metallic black ferberite to 5.5 cm in size standing up off a matrix of bright lustrous crystals of arsenopyrite to 3.0 cm. Quartz and muscovite scattered throughout. Very slight micro-chipping present as some of the arsenopyrite crystals, I still think this in very good condition. Excellent large cabinet example from this classic locality.
