A rather rich specimen with elongated, striated bleded crystals to 6mm. Very rich specimen with also two appearant octahedrally shapped crystals, which at first glance seems to be orthorhombic which points to the possibility of Krennerite. Although studying these you might conclude they are just odd-shaped or twinned crystals.
