TV47AL6: Very aerial group of ‘Pearceite’ crystals, with sharp faces and edges, and very marked and shiny striations, on matrix. Accompanied by small transparent Proustite crystals with a bright red color. We label the specimen 'Pearceite', with quotation marks, due to the changes introduced by the IMA in the nomenclature of the species, recently subdivided. The sample comes from the well-known Thomas P. Moore collection, whose label we will send to the buyer.
