Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of this very rare silver germanium sulphide from the type locality in Germany!!! These
historic argyrodite specimens from Himmelsfurst date to latter half of the 1800's and are extremely rare today!!! This
specimen consists of a somewhat botryoidal group of argyrodite crystals!!! Although it
is difficult to discern from the pics, upon close inspection in person one can find numerous crystal
faces scattered about the rounded botryoidal forms!!! The reverse side of the specimen is concave and, upon
close inspection with a loupe or scope, actually hosts sharply defined crystals with metallic luster!!!
Simply an outstanding example of this rare and sought after species!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of
Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen
PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming
days and weeks!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 11th!!!
