Description

Rich specimen featuring tens of pitch black braunite octahedrons populating this etched vein (calcite was removed) within a dark, very hard metajasper. 
The first two picture show the same subject, but I have intentionally left the overexposed shot to better show the crystals.
From my field collecting in Praborna in 2004, nowadays very scarce material.
