An interesting and large specimen composed of multiple species of minerals. The matrix is a large knob-shaped mass covered on all sides by tiny clear Quartz crystals. There are small 'melted' looking Galena crystals all round amongst the Quartz crystals, as well as larger, sharp Sphalerite crystals and the occassinal golden Chalcopyrite crystal. Great crystals all around, with an old label on the bottom that notes Bournonite but I don't see any.
