Delicate, sculptural, and spectacular are some of the descriptive terms one could use for this stunning Dyscrasite on Native Arsenic matrix from the famous Uranium mine No. 21 at Háje, near Príbram in the Czech Republic. Unique in their presentation, the feathery, bladed crystals of Dyscrasite are also twinned in 'V'-shaped forms. As is typical, the dull grey Native Arsenic matrix has been carefully etched away to expose the world-class Dyscrasite (a rare silver antimonide) crystals and this cabinet-sized piece displays this much better than most specimens we have seen from this famous discovery during the 1980s.
