Description

A rich and quite large sample of rare pizgrischite. A moltitude of shiny metallic crystals interwinned on/in pale matrix. This rare sulphosalt comes only from its type locality, in the Swiss mountains at an altitude of around 3000 meters but even there it is now very difficult to find samples of this rare mineral and even less so, of centimeter dimensions.

Excellent small-miniature!
