Big and unusual specimen for a tellurides sample, with botryoidal, encrusting Rhodochrosite and abundant Sylvanite associated with darker Nagyagite. Very impressive! From an old collection, obviously.

Beautiful sample, in my opinion, that must be appreciated under the microscope. Shows many distinct quite well formed Sylvanite crystals up to 5 mm on crystallized Quartz (similar to the Sylvanite from the Emperor Mine), very rare aspect for this locale.

 Description:
Nagyagite, Rhodochrosite
Sacarîmb (ex Nagyág), Deva, Hunedoara Co., Romania
7x6x4 cm
Exclusive, very rare and uncommon sample, with many complete, large (up to 2 cm ) Nagyagite crystals preserved by the encrusting Rhodochrosite and Quartz.
Usually large crystals of Nagyagite are broken, because it is very tender and fragile. From very old collection (late 1700-first 1800).
