The crystal is both fronted and backed by smaller, doubly terminated Selenites. The matrix is brown, epimorphed Siderite, which contrasts in form and color adding to the aesthetics of the specimen.

A large showy, fine quality, multi-species association specimen from the famed Huanzala Mine in Peru. The main focus is a group of pale pink (Manganese bearing) feather like scalenohedra of Calcite forming a semi-spray measuring 3.1 cm across, associated with excellent quality, sharp, well formed, robust, smooth, metallic, dark silvery-grey colored crystals of Tetrahedrite measuring to 2.5 cm - along with ribbon like formations of white Quartz sitting on a matrix of additional sulfides, including Sphalerite, Galenna and Pyrite. This piece has excellent balance and aesthetics and anything like it would be very hard to find on the market.
A unique combination specimen featuring elongated, narrow, mostly tabular Cerussite crystals with pearly luster growing on rolling mounds of tufted, acicular Malachite. The Cerussites range up to 1.4 cm in length, which makes them stand out easily. There are even some sparkly, micro Azurites that add color and accent.
