Nagyagite, or lead antimony sulphide gold telluride, is one of those rare mineral species reported from many localities around the world, but only one area has produced significant noteworthy crystals - that of the Type Locality, after which it is named. This wonderful miniature specimen from Săcărâmb (formerly Nagyág) has remarkably fine aesthetics for a rare species. Its display surface (5 x 4 cm), features attractive dendritic, or fan-like, growths of black bladed crystals of Nagyagite embedded in pale pink Rhodochrosite. Small, but ever so choice for a super rarity.
