Native leaf Silver (very rare for locale) ex Mullane Coll.

Item Description

A extremely rare and old Bisbee specimen of 2.2 cm of tarnished native leaf silver jauntily set on limestone matrix from the famous Czar Shaft. The silver is associated with the gray, drusy quartz above the silver. The Czar Shaft closed in 1944, but I would estimate that this piece probably dates to prior to World War I based on what other Arizona collectors have indicated to me. This is Historic and very rare material from the Dennis Mullane Bisbee Collection. A Bisbee silver is one of the rarest native silvers from a major ore mine in the USA, to track down. Valued $500
