Description
WOW! What a thumber! This BRILLIANTLY-LUSTROUS, MIRROR-BRIGHT, COMPLETE, STUNNING crystal of Stephanite as a wonderful off-matrix piece. It is complete all around with wonderful multifaced terminations. As a silver, antimony sulfosalt, Stephanite crystals from Fresnillo are much less common than Pyrargyrite. Crystals of this caliber, with textbook crystal habit, are exceedingly rare. This is just as much of a smoker for the species as I have ever seen, and the big surprise is that it is miraculously in as good a condition as it is given the softness of the species.
