Item Description
A very rich and showy silver ore specimen from the famous San Luis Shaft at Fresnillo, Mexico and the Brent Lockhart Collection. Scintillating, metallic-gray pyrargyrite crystals with spots of gemmy, "ruby-silver" fire comprise nearly the entire piece, which is nicely accented with golden chalcopyrite crystals. A RICH bonus on the back are the lustrous, pastel-pink, manganoan calcite scalenohedrons and nailhead crystals. Excellent, very rich and highly representative crystals and ore of the species and famous locale. valued $900
