Sylvanite (M120)
Sylvanite, the rare silver and gold telluride, was discovered here at the type locality in 1835. It is known at its best for this surreal, metallic-organic growth that seems to have pattern, when crystallized at we see here. More technically speaking, these are flat-lying crystals in the form of typical graphic intergrowths ("Schrifterz"). And this is really an exceptional specimen with good contrast and a wide field with Sylvanite.
