Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of polybasite, acanthite, and native silver from this
historic Mexican locale!!! This specimen consists of a matrix of crystalline calcite and quartz points that
hosts a thin, complex crystal of polybasite intergrown with a complex acanthite crystal (possibly pseudomorphic?) perched atop!!!
There is a tangle of native silver wires growing from the acanthite as well!!! There are also complex
crystals of pyrite present, as well as numerous tiny wires of native silver, acanthite crystals, and more scattered about the
specimen as well!!! Unique old time material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
