Acanthite with Chlorargyrite on Quartz Con Imperial Mine, Gold Hill, Comstock District, Storey Co., Nevada 9.5cm x 7.14cm x 4.7cm Ex. Robert E. Jenkins II Collection No. 5796

Description/Interesting Notes: An old time example of acanthite and chlorargyrite from this historic Nevada locality!!! This specimen consists of a quartz matrix that hosts an unusual showing of acanthite intermixed with chlorargyrite!!! The acanthite is present as compressed masses or coatings on areas of the quartz matrix as well as a few scattered masses in cavities!!! This "flattened" acanthite is up to a couple millimeters thick in areas and has dark black-gray color with a luster that ranges from flat to metallic!!! The chlorargyrite is present as dark, brownish gray masses and crusts present both by itself and in close association with the acanthite!!! The broad side of the specimen that hosts the broad, darker colored area hosts most of the acanthite whereas the opposite side hosts more chlorargyrite (as a network of meandering masses and crusts)!!! These old time Comstock District specimens are quite scarce!!! This specimen is from the personal collection of Bob Jenkins and retains his original personal collection 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!!!
