Nagy'gite is a rare lead-gold-tellurium-antimony sulphosalt often containing other metallic elements and forms black metallic crystals throughout this small cabinet size specimen. It is 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 crystals form sheets and acicular blades, depending on the orientation of the crystals within the pale candy pink Rhodochrosite and granular Sphalerite matrix. A rich specimen of Nagy'gite embedded in typical matrix for this classic deposit.
