This one hurts… I like it very much, both for the perfection and definition of the crystals, as well as for their very 'fresh' and natural patina and the fact that it is on matrix. The vast majority of these djurleites are enclosed in Calcite and inevitably have to be acid-etched out, and this, for some reason, has the appearance that we all imagine for a sulphide: not too gray and not too black.
I saw extraordinary pieces from that find that I still keep in my memory, but even so this piece is, for its size, one of my favorites of all the ones I got to see.
