Cluster of large black Tennantite crystals with attached colorless rhombs of Calcite. The Tennantite are well crystallized all around but show some contacts on the bottom. The Calcite crystals cover most of the bottom indicating it detached from the pocket and was later coated by the Calcite crystals. There are also some tiny Quartz crystals present and an unidentified platy metallic mineral. Ex. Carl Acosta collection.
