A fantastic example of this rare "ruby silver" species from Nevada!!! While proustite and pyrargyrite are perhaps the best known "ruby silver" species, there
is a third - and much rarer "ruby silver", miargyrite!!! This specimen hosts a unique "collar" of complex miargyrite crystals on a lightly colored
contrasting matrix!!! The crystals are highly complex with sharp, brightly metallic luster!!! Upon close inspection there are several areas
that exhibit the characteristic ruby red flash - as well as a few smaller crystals that are actually somewhat gemmy!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
