Highly lustrous metallic crystals of Sperrylite in sulfide matrix from the well known Talnakh deposit. While many Sperrylite specimesn have just a single crystal, this one has many crystals of this rare platinum species are scattered across the surface. Some are incomplete, but many are perfect and reach 8mm in size. They are not just on the front, additional crystals can be seen along the sides still embedded in the matrix, indicating there are likely even more remaining inside the matrix too. This one is just loaded with crystals! Ex. Carl Acosta collection.
