Chlorargyrite in Cerussite and Galena

Item Description

A rare and very showy Arizona combination specimen from a less well-known Arizona locale - the Oriziba Mine in Pinal County. A sculptural, 1.5 cm vug is filled with pretty green, waxy luster, microcrystals of chlorargyite, which is set on a vein of starkly contrasting massive galena. The galena vein runs through a matrix of massive to microcrystalline cerussite. Very rich silver/lead ore here. Seldom available on the market. Hefty, too.
