Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of this very rare silver bearing species from this historic locale!!! This specimen
hosts several signficant areas of silvery gray heyrovskyite embedded in the matrix!!! Upon
close inspection with a loupe or scope one can actually see some crystalline features as well!!! The
back of the old label notes that "95% of the gray material is heyrovskyite" with the remainder consisting of a
minute amount of galena, native bismuth, and some unidentified species!!! Simply an incredible
example of this very rare species from this historic "silver boom" locale!!!
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 FEBRUARY 21st!!!
