One of the better pieces I got out of a seam at Mt. Bischoff. Specimen consists of clear quartz xls scattered all over the specimen, purple fluorite on the right side, black sphalerite globs and minor silver/gray galena and arsenopyrite. There is another clear, acicular mineral in there that isn't yet identified. Specimen is 9.5x7x2cm in size
