  • The copper, zinc, iron and tin sulphide is a rare mineral but specimens of this size and quality are exceptionally unusual.
  • The Stannite occurs as clusters of large lustrous black crystals along with sizable crystals of Arsenopyrite. The sulphide minerals are attached to a large and complex cluster of Quartz crystals with largely intact terminations.
  • The quartz contains metallic inclusions which are probably arsenopyrite, along with  very small bright yellow inclusions reminiscent of a lava lamp.
  • This is a highly displayable specimen of a hard to get mineral.
  • The specimen is from the Yaogangxian Mine, Chengzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China.
