Bright silver plates of Nagyagite to 5 mm long and wide by about 0.2 mm thick richly line vugs and crevasses in a bed of pale pastel-pink Rhodochrosite rosettes averaging 2 to 6 mm across. A hard manganese-rich layered and veined rock forms the underlying matrix. An excellent specimen of Nagyagite from Romania.
