Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of rare jalpaite and native silver from the type locality in Mexico!!! This rare, old time specimen hosts a very rich showing
of dark gray jalpaite in association with bright tin white native silver and turquoise-blue chrysocholla!!! This specimen actually hosts numerous
CRYSTALS of jalpaite to several millimeters!!! Upon close examination, one can see that the jalpaite crystals still embedded in the chrysocholla actually have a
paper-thin layer of native silver that encapsulates them around the perimeter!!! The broad area of native silver also hosts a complex imprint of crystalline jalpaite as well!!!
This is a fantastic, old time rarity indeed!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
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 APRIL 29th!!!
