Description/Interesting Notes: A rare, historic specimen from Nevada's Silver Boom!!! In 1862, a few short years after the Comstock Lode discovery, the Reese River mining district was the second major silver discovery in Nevada!!! The Reese River district area was feverishly mined and was effectively exhausted in 1887!!! This specimen hosts a significant showing of stephanite and proustite scattered throughout the matrix present as large masses, grains, veins, and crusts!!! The stephanite is present as darkly colored masses however upon close inspection with a loupe or a scope there are some tiny, scattered crystals to be seen (some are quite well formed)!!! There is much more to see going on with this specimen upon close inspection with a loupe or a scope!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains its original label, as well as an older Michigan College of Mines label and its original antique glass-lined specimen box from the museum as well!!! This specimen also retains an old label George J. Brush (1831-1912) as well!!! Specimens from Nevada's "Silver Boom" are rarely seen today!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
