Item Description
Pyrargyrite specimens are uncommon from this famous locale, known for excellent wire silver, rhodochrosite and acanthite specimens. Lustrous, metallic-gray crystals to 1.3 cm richy cover the sulfide and quartz on this showy, excellent and rich specimen from the Bob Trimingham Collection. Bright light reveals the classic "ruby silver" color of the crystals. Very rich ore!
