Isolated crystals of Hutchinsonite, a rare sulpharsenide of thallium and lead, grew on a matrix composed of sharp, lustrous, pentadodecahedral Pyrite crystals, and white Quartz crystals. The combination exhibits beautiful contrast with the spheroidal ocher-orange aggregates of Orpiment. Note that Hutchinsonite is not a common species at all.
