description:
The top side of this 17.0 x 9.0 x 4.0 cm quartz crystal matrix is richly scattered with metallic semi-lustrous crystals of tetrahedrite to 1.5 cm in size. Smaller crystals of both pyrite and sphalerite scattered throughout as well. Minimal micro-chipping present, overall I think in very good condition.
