Item Description

A neat rarity from New Mexico featuring massive bright green Chlorargyrite (labele as Cerargyrite) with black silver-bearing Todorokite on matrix. The given locality on the label is the Minnehaha Mine, but I can't find a report of Chlorargyrite or Todorokite from this mine. I'm sure a New Mexico mineral expert would be able to piece this one together. It still remains an unusual and hard to find specimen from the American southwest.
