Crystalline mass formed of very bright black Ilvaite crystals with partial crystal faces, associated with a multitude of water-clear Quartz crystals, some of them with a truncated prism and partially covered by the Ilvaite itself. Finally, small crystalline fragments of lead-grey Galena adorn the piece. From an abandoned mine that exploited Cu-Pb-Zn minerals and which is also the type locality for two mineral species, Campigliaite and Johannsenite.
