Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of native silver from Nevada!!! This specimen consists of a dense, greenish turquoise colored matrix of
chrysocolla that hosts a prominent "sheet" of native silver!!! The matrix could easily be mistaken for turquoise given its color and fineness!!! The
native silver is present as a "sheet" of native silver that has been curled and wrinkled into this attractive form!!! The silver has
areas of metallic brilliance combined with an attractive, varied patina with iridescent highlights!!! There is also a small amount of
calcite and what appears to be bit of included malachite on the bottom as well!!! This is OLD 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 MAY 31st!!!
