Item Description
Scintillating, silver-metallic, pyrargyrite crystals to about 1.0 cm are richly clustered on hefty microcrystalline sulfide and quartz ore matrix on this showy and excellent example from this noted locale. The crystals show classic "ruby silver" color and translucence under bright light. Specimens of this richness are not that common. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection.
