Description/Interesting Notes:
A historic example of pyrargyrite from this famous locality!!! This specimen consists of a rich, deep red mass of
pyrargyite in association with a small amount of quartz matrix and stephanite!!! The pyrarygite has
rich, deep red color and comprises a significant portion of the specimen!!! Upon close inspection, there
is a small amount of grayish metallic stephanite in association as well!!! The reverse of the specimen hosts a broad, thin plate
of quartz matrix that has some interesting bright red internal staining as well!!! Specimens
from this famous locality date to the 19th century and are very scarce today!!! This specimen retains
an old Forrest Cureton label as well!!!
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 DECEMBER 8th!!!
