This specimen has an interesting combination of different shaped crystals stacked on each other. The crystals vary from cubes, to flat, tabular with the widest side a cube, to an elongated crystal at the end which has a cube for the smallest side (on the end). The crystals have interesting growth lines. The specimen has a very high luster. The specimen is in good condition, although there are a few chips on the edges. A note on the location: this is probably an older specimen in that it was labeled as being from La Lebertad mine; today, this mine is called the Quiruvilca mine.
