Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of acanthite from Canada!!! This specimen hosts a large, complex crystal of acanthite on matrix in
association with a small amount of magenta pink erythrite!!! The acanthite crystal measures 7mm and is quite striking for the locality!!! The crystal has
bright, metallic luster and a sharp, complex habit that consists of interpenetrant cubo-octahedral crystals!!! The crystal has
some minor damage (or a contact) on its reverse, however it is not easily seen and the crystal is otherwise complete!!! The
specimen displays handsomely!!! This is a fantastic old time example of acanthite from
Cobalt!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
