Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of native silver from Mexico!!! This specimen is VERY dense and rich!!! This specimen consists of a dense network of unusually thick and chunky
crystals of native silver in association with a small amount of calcite matrix!!! This specimen came out of an old collection and
exhibits unusual morphology for the locale!!! Upon close inspection one can see that the crystals are thick, stout, and
densely intergrown!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, it appears that there may be two generations of native silver, the
large, main crystals followed by a later generation of finely dendritic crystals, tufts, and coatings!!! A very fascinating and unusual
old time native silver from Mexico!!!
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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 26th!!!
