An excellent cluster of lustrous, twinned dyscrasite crystals with matrix. Some of the crystals reach 2.5 cm, and the twins to almost 2 cm. Although this is an old location from which dyscrasite was known a long time ago, many specimens on the market come from a few small pockets found in the 1980s. Most of these important specimens came out rather clunky, or so jumbly the crystals had little individual definition in context, but this miniature stands out amongst nearly all I have seen for the overall aesthetics and quality as well. 4.5 x 4.5 x 3.3 cm
