Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of acanthite and stephanite from this historic German locality!!! This
specimen consists of a cluster of complexly modified cubic crystals of acanthite pominently perched atop a spire of complex stephanite crystals!!!
The acanthite crystals are actually very sharply crystallized cubic crystals with faces that exhibit remarkably complex crystlaline features!!!
This is not etching or weathering and, upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, is actually sharp, brilliant,
and highly ordered!!! The stephanite crystals are sharp, lustrous, and undamaged!!! This is a striking old timer that is WAY better than
the pics show!!! This specimen retains an old unattributed label as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 7th!!!
