A classic cluster of intergrown crystals with one large dramatic crystal perched in the middle. The crystals have the desirable cherry-red color and an attractive metallic luster you would want in a proustite from ANY locality - but a good old German piece is more rare than anything from Chanarcillo, even. This rare mineral is hard to find in specimens so attractive and well-balanced. Truly oustanding piece! 4 x 3.3 x 1.1 cm
