Item Description
An 8 mm, sharply terminated, pyrargyrite crystal crowns the 2.2 cm, well-placed cluster of splendent crystals set in quartz. This showy and excellent piece, with several display views, is from the San Genaro Mine, source of some of the finest Peruvian pyrargyrites. Very little new material has been found in the last few years. Ex Wes Parker Collection.
