Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific, old time example of diaphorite from Nevada!!! This specimen consists of a matrix of quartz, rhodochrosite, and alabandite that hosts
a significant showing of sivery-gray metallic diaphorite and pyrargyrite!!! The diaphorite is present as a network of masses and microcrystalline areas
of diaphorite scattered throughout the matrix, as well as some tiny areas of crystalline material as well!!! The pyrargyrite is present in a similar fashion, with
scattered masses and a few tiny crystalline areas as well!!! Upon close inspection one can see tiny flashes of red in the pyrargyrite!!!
This specimen is from the personal collection of Bob Jenkins and retains his original
personal collection 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 MAY 19th!!!
