Nagy'gite is a rare lead-gold-tellurium-antimony sulphosalt often containing other metallic elements and forms black metallic crystals throughout this miniature specimen. From its type locality of Sacar'mb (or correctly S?c?r'mb), a village in west central Romania, formerly called Nagy'g. The Nagy'gite occurs as flattened platy crystals richly pervading a white Calcite matrix and depending on their orientation, can appear in any geometry from plates to flat linear laths. This is a rich specimen of Nagy'gite from this historic deposit in Romania.
