Bromian Chlorargyrite ex Trimingham Coll.

Item Description

Embolite is an old-time synonym of bromian chlorargyrite. This is a very rich and showy specimen of this very rare silver species, with fine discrete crystals, from the classic and best locality of old Broken Hill. Crystals richly invest two sides of the hefty ore piece. The olive-green crystals have excellent waxy luster. This is a rare member of the group of related silver chlorides from Broken Hill, and hard to obtain today in good specimens. This super piece was probably mined in the 1940s or earlier. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and from the Jack Parnau and South Australian Museum Collections, according to the label. Valued at $750-850, for quality and richness.
