5.0 x 3.6 x 2.9 cm. Luzonite is an uncommon copper, arsenic sulfosalt. This fine, rich, 3-dimensional specimen of nearly solid, reddish-gray, metallic-lustre luzonite crystals to 5 mm is nicely accented by a scattering of pyrite crystals. Luzonite is especially desirable from this now defunct quarry in Taiwan. Very rich, highly representative material of this uncommon species from this extinct locale.
MD-215479 - Luzonite, Enargite - - Archived Pen-Shan Ore Body, Chinkuahshih Mine, Jui-Fang Town, Taipei Co., Taiwan Province, Taiwan small cabinet, 7.4 x 7.1 x 6.5 cm.
7.4 x 7.1 x 6.5 cm. This is a classic pseudomorph from a well-known locality that has produced the best examples of Luzonite. The enargite here is being replaced by luzonite, is probably mostly replaced - but I do not think the replacement is 100% yet because of the general look of it. I could be wrong, and I cannot pin why I feel this way, but it just seems off in color or lustre, to me, compared to the full luzonite pseudomorphs I have seen in the past. Perhaps it is caught in transition, partly each species. Rarely do you see these specimens on matrix and here we have it on both pyrite and host rock matrix. A fine old classic from a now defunct locale. Ex. Charlie Key.

5.5 x 5.3 x 4.1 cm. An exceptional specimen of Enargite altering to Luzonite. The black blades of Enargite, which can reach 1.1 cm in length, have excellent luster, and the striations on the faces add greatly to the aesthetics. The Luzonite is growing on the terminations of many of the crystals of Enargite. The Enargites surround a bed of beautiful lustrous Pyrites. Ex. Charlie Key.
