Description
Steel-gray Tetrahedrite with multiple crystal faces, associated with Quartz on minor Chacopyrite. The Tetrahedrite crystals display a metallic luster with a little tarnish and create a great contrast to the white Quartz. A nice and pristine specimen. The Georg Mine is an iron mine in the Horhausen district that has been operated for 1,000 years. It mined a large vein of manganese-bearing Siderite, including a suite of Lead-Copper-Zinc minerals. Over its live, a total of 6.5 million tons of ore were recovered. When it was abandoned in 1965 it lay dormant until it was turned into a tourist site.
