Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of native silver from Germany!!! This specimen consists of a dense mass comprised of fine,
compressed native silver wires in intimate association unidentified matrix and scattered
intergrown with nickelskutterudite var. chloanthite crystals!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can see that this
specimen is comprised of densely intergrown wires of native silver that are almost spongiform in some areas!!! The color of the silver
ranges from tin-whitish to dark gray!!! The nickelskutterudite var. chloanthite crystals are quite well formed with sharp, complex faces and
metallic luster!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains its museum label with
L. L. Hubbard (1849-1933) Collection notation!!!
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!!!
