Item Description
Native silver specimens are EXTREMELY RARE from this historic and famous Mexican locale. A 6 mm mass of tarnished platy silver on one end, along with a couple of micro-masses, are set on the thin chrysocolla matrix crust. Undoubtably older material, but no proof. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and formerly in the Mrs Wayne Smith of Southern California Collections. Value of such a rarity to the locality or species collector???
