10.6 x 8.5 x 7.4 cm. The lollingites (a species related to arsenopyrite) from this mine are being hailed as best of species material. This piece features spear-shaped, lustrous, silvery crystals to approximately 3 inches, decorated with small quartz crystals. A nice combination specimen from recent finds of mid-2012 (found in April). Unlike most such pieces found this has dramatic 3-dimensional aesthetics and clearly shows the bladed crystals standing up.
