Description/Interesting Notes:
An old time example of chlorargytite from this historic locality!!! This specimen consists of a plate of matrix
that is richly intermixed with chlorargyrite!!! This specimen hosts numerous irregular masses of
grayish-tan chlorargytite richly scattered across its broad face as well as intermixed throughout the matrix!!!
This is old time material that dates to the late 19th century!!! Specimens
from this locality are quite scarce today, as very few specimens survived smelting in the fervent search for riches!!! Nevada
is known as "The Silver State" due to its rich silver-mining history and it all began in this famous district!!! This specimen
has two old affixed catalogue numbers and retains a previous dealer 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!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JANUARY 5th!!!
