A RICH, old-time and showy combination specimen from the famed Cripple Creek District of Colorado of metallic-bright, platy sylvanite crystals to 4 mm richly scattered on all four sides of matrix and very well complimented by purple fluorite. Sylvanite and fluorite are an UNCOMMON and HIGHLY DESIRABLE combination from this well-known district and this is a very highly representative specimen.
