2.3 x 2.3 x 1.9 cm. A hefty, larger jordanite specimen from this find of several years ago, featuring a sharp twinned crystal rising off a bit of ore matrix. The specimen is imposing for the species, and much sharper and more impressive than anything I have seen available from other finds. It looks more like a chalcocite than anything, and few would guess what this is by looking at it - so few comparables existing to judge it by. It is complete on the display face and slightly contacted on the sides. Originally sold as geocronite at Munich 2015, these were later found on analysis to be jordanite.
