Item Description
The well-known San Genaro Mine is famous for outstanding silver sulfosalt species and this is a most excellent thumbnail example. Polybasites of this quality are very rare from here. This is an aesthetic, super-sharp parallel-growth cluster of lustrous, metallic-gray plates. From a recent, small 2013 find and I had the piece analysed. Valued at $1500. Try to find another.
