Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection No. 308
Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of acanthite from this classic Mexican locale!!! This specimen consists of a fine cluster of sharp, lustrous
cubic crystals of acanthite with several intergrown blades of polybasite!!! The acanthite show sharp cubic form with
some complex modifications and features!!! The acanthite crystals have bright metallic luster and are WAY better than
the pics show!!! The cluster is much more detailed and aesthetic in person!!! The crystals are undamaged and the specimen
is complete all around!!! The bladed crystals of polybasite show sharp striations upon close inspection and there are
some small quartz crystals and a lone calcite crystal present as well!!! Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer and retains an
original collection label as well!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer
