Description

Very rare in this quality! Zacatecas is a classical locality for fine Jamesonite specimens, including this one. It featuresgray metallic, thick and elongated crystals.. In addition, there are well placed bright, lustrous pyrite crystals. In recent years there has been a paucity of this great sulfosalt mineral. This locality still ranks among the best for species, because of the thickness and sturdiness of the crystals which normally occur simply as a jumble of acicular needles from other places.
