Near floater cluster of Quartz crystals (two crystals show incomplete ends) with Arsenopyrite crystals, yellow Muscovite, and a large single Stannite crystal 1.3cm wide. This locality is known for having produced world class examples of Stannite, considered to be the best in the world. This is an excellent example with a well isolated single crystal. The Arsenopyrite are also superb, and include a 2cm doubly-terminated crystal. The Quartz is well crystallized all around and includes a 3cm doubly-terminated crystal. There is even a small Fluorite cube attached - neat combo specimen!!
