Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of native silver from Mexico!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of complexly crystalline acanthite crystals,
massive crystalline pyrite, and tangles of brilliant tin-white native silver wires!!! All of the darker colored material in the pictures is acanthite and,
upon close inspection it is actually crystalline - being comprised of highly complex, sheet-like crystals!!! The native silver wires
have brilliant tin white luster with accents of antique-like patina!!! There are also some broad areas of massive pyrite that actually show
some complex crystallization under close inspection and are brilliantly metallic in person!!! The pics hardly do this old time silver justice!!! This specimen
is from the collection of A.J. Beres!!!
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 OCTOBER 14th!!!
