Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of chlorargyrite from Nevada!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of grayish chlorargyrite in association
with an unidentified green mineral!!! The broad face of the specimen hosts a significant coverage of subhedral
chlorargyrite crystals and there
are masses and subhedral crystals scattered throughout the remainder of the specimen as well!!! The unidentified green mineral has
tiny, submillimeter rounded crystals that show significant luster in areas!!! The White Pine district was the scene of
yet another Nevada "rush" in 1869!!! This handsome, historic old timer dates to the region's heyday during the late 1800's!!! This specimen
is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains its original old label with L.L. Hubbard (1849-1933) Collection notation 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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 4th!!!
