Item Description
Argyrodite is a rare silver sulfosalt with gemanium and this showy old-timer is from the famous Type Locality in the Erzgebirge. Intergrown nubby, matte-finish, gray botryoids comprise this excellent and uncommon thumbnail. Specimens such as this date to the late 1800s and are hard to come by! A trim from a larger piece out of the Herb Obodda Collection.
