Jalpaite with Native Silver & Chrysocolla Jalpa, Mun. de Jalpa, Zacatecas, Mexico 5.36cm x 4.25cm x 2.14cm Ex. J. Cilen Collection No. 1220

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 minor association with native silver and turquoise-blue chrysocholla!!! In addition to large masses of jalpaite, this specimen actually hosts numerous complex CRYSTALS of jalpaite!!! Upon close examination, one can see that some of the jalpaite crystals still embedded in the chrysocholla actually have a paper-thin layer of native silver that encapsulates them around the perimeter!!! This specimen retains an old Cilen collection label as well!!! This is a fantastic, old time rarity indeed!!! Fine examples of jalpaite such as this are nearly impossible to obtain on todays market!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
