A mass of well formed Enargite crystals sprinkled with small, golden Pyrite crystals. The Enargite crystals are a very dark gray, almost black color and have a submetallic luster. The terminations are flat and in some places, there are no terminations but rather, flattened contact planes which are almost indistinguishable from the terminated crystals. This is a classic location for Enargite specimens.
Condition: Excellent
Flaws: Nothing Appreciable
