Polybasite with Pyrargyrite

Comstock Lode, Virginia City, Comstock District, Storey Co., Nevada

4.67cm x 3.24cm x 2.6cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare, old time example of polybasite from this historic locality!!! This specimen consists of a rich showing of massive polybasite in association with some pyrargyrite and several other sulphides!!! The majority of the dark, metallic material is massive polybasite with some intergrown galena and masses of darkly colored sphalerite!!! There are a few masses of dark red pyrargyrite and upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can find minute grains throughout the polybasite!!! There are several small cavities visible next to the quartz matrix!!! This is old time material that dates to the late 19th century!!! Specimens from this locality are quite scarce today, as very few specimens survived smelting in the fervent search for riches!!! Nevada is known as "The Silver State" due to its rich silver-mining history and it all began in this famous district!!! 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!!! STAY TUNED!!!
