Matrix miniature featuring tens fo metallic grey metal boulangerite var. plumosite crystals. The needles are fresh, in good conditions. A few white quartz and some very fresh siderite crystals are present in the specimen.

In good condition, this classic Italian locality is known for being very sought after by collectors of sulfides and sulfosalts. I have had this specimen since 2001.
