Sylvanite

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. |

Nagyagite, Rhodochrosite

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). |
