Ferberite with Quartz, Arsenopyrite, Pyrite

specimen number:
8036267

location:
Tazna mine, Chichas, Potosi, Bolivia

description:
Lustrous black very thick and sharply formed crystals of ferberite to 6.5 cm in height, the prominent crystal four point centimeter wide, across the top of this crystallized quartz matrix with minor arsenopyrite and pyrite. Very slight chipping present the some of the quartz crystals along the extreme edge of the piece, I still think this specimen is in great condition. Sits perfectly for display. Superb example for the species.
