Description

This is a super interesting specimen and counts to my personally beloved species,- "a member of the grey and uglies". In this case you are don't looking at a crumb. This is a cabinet sized specimen of a rare mineral. Numerous acicular crystals of silversulfosalt fizelyite partly coated with fibrous plumosite. Both species are accompanied my multifaced, iron-bearing, black sphalerite. This is a super specimen in splendid condition.

Fizelyite is named in honour of Sándor Fizély (1856-1918), Hungarian mining engineer. He discovered the mineral.
