Nagyagite, 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 fine large miniature specimen from Săcărâmb (formerly Nagyág) from David Hardman's collection, is richly invested in black metallic bladed crystals of Nagyagite, to 7 mm in length, embedded in and protruding from pale pink Rhodochrosite.
