A 1.5cm cluster of dark crystals with Pyrite all on a Quartz crystal covered matrix. This came in an old collection labelled as Miargyrite from Julcani, however there is some translucency in some of the dark crystals indicating at least some of the dark crystals are another mineral, probably Sphalerite. Miargyrite is an uncommon sulfide of silver and antimony.
