Description/Interesting Notes:
A historic old time example of pyrargyrite from Mexico!!! This specimen hosts a large, rich mass of deep red
pyrargyrite in association with massive galena, pyrite, and a coating of what appear to be translucent
dolomite (or calcite) crystals!!! The pyrargyrite is quite substantial and solid!!! Upon
close inspection one can even see some areas of marked clarity as well!!!
This specimen is from an old, seldom referenced locale and dates back well over a century or more!!!
This specimen retains old labels from the Michigan College of Mines, A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum, and an
additional unattributed label that predates them!!! Rare 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!!!
