| Title | Tetrahedrite with quartz and pyrite |
|---|---|
| Description | Tetrahedrite, Cu12Sb4S13 (copper antimony sulfide), can form interesting and handsome mineral specimens. Often it will contain a certain percentage of silver and be used as a minor ore. The multi-faceted tetrahedral crystals as well as the flat faced simple tetrahedral crystals can be very striking and a real pleasure for mineral collectors to own. It can often be found with quartz and pyrite, as in this sample. |
