Description/Interesting Notes:
A rich, old time example of native silver from Tombstone!!! This specimen hosts a very rich showing of native silver in association
with tan colored chlorargyrite in a matrix of quartz and yellow-green fluorite!!! The specimen has been cut and polished in order to
further exhibit its richness!!! The polished face of this specimen shows a brilliant network of native silver and, upon close inspection, there
are a few significant areas of lustrous tan colored chlorargyrite as well!!! There are numerous areas of native silver that protrude from the specimen
and upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can see areas of chlorargyrite in close association as well!!! One end of this specimen
is comprised of a portion of slightly translucent yellow-green fluorite as well!!! This is old, 19th century 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!!!
