Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of polybasite with pyrargyrite and proustite from Nevada!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of highly
complex polybasite crystals in association with dark reddish to near black pyrargyrite and proustite!!! The polybasite crystals are present
as complex groups of hexagonal, platy metallic crystals and the pyrargyrite and proustite is present as complex masses and veins!!! Upon
close inspection the specimen is much more crystalline, and well crystallized than the pictures show!!! This specimen
retains an old label from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum with L.L. Hubbard (1849-1933) collection notation as well as an affixed corresponding
catalogue number!!! 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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JANUARY 6th!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
