Sharp, well-formed and isolated stephanite crystal perched on white calcite crystals! The stephanite measures 21 mm across and is accompanied by small pyrargyrite crystals. This specimen comes with an old historic box, an old label stating "Melanglanz" and the newspaper where it was wrapped. That piece of newspaper is dated march 25, 1913! The lustre is very fresh and brilliant which proves that the piece has been kept in the dark since it was found. What a gorgeous sample of this rare silver sulfosalt!
