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 is from the
A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and is actually the matching half to another specimen we sold some time ago!!! Digital
copies of its old labels can be provided to the winner upon request!!! 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!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 6th!!!
