Item Description

An aesthetic old-time thumbnail cluster of stout, lustrous metallic-gray pyrargyrite crystals from this historic locale. The piece has fine form and the sharp faces of the large crystal and scattered striated faces are most impressive. Flashes of "ruby silver" color can be seen under bright light. The bit of noted bruising to the large crystal certainly has minimal impact to the overall excellent quality. Valued at $2000. Hard-to-find quality today.
