Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique old time example of silver from Colorado!!! This specimen hosts numerous complex sphalerite crystals interspersed with native silver on a matrix covered with tiny quartz points and siderite crystals!!!
In addition to the plentiful silver, there are a few complex acanthite crystal groups scattered about the specimen!!! A very unusual, old time Colorado classic!!! The pics
hardly do it justice!!! This specimen retains its original Jenkins label!!!
