Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of native silver from this historic locale!!! This specimen consists of a dense mass of complexly
intergrown wires of native silver!!! Upon close inspection, one can see that much of the specimen is actually a stout
segment of a thick native silver wire that hosts numerous smaller wires parting from it and tangles of fine, thread-like
wires occupying the recesses and cavities!!! The native silver has a handsome "antique" patina and there are some small areas
of what appears to be some acanthite in association as well!!! This is OLD material that likely dates back a century or more!!!
Specimen retains an old unattributed label as well!!! 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 JUNE 14th!!!
