6.0 x 2.7 x 2.2 cm. A solid and showy brassy ore specimen of the nickel, iron sulfide, pentlandite, with a bit of pyrrhotite from the famous Sudbury District of Ontario, Canada. This classic, old-timer has an excellent provenance - the Clarence Bement Collection to the American Musuem of Natural History in New York and then traded out to Larry Conklin. Around a 100 years old.
