Silver on Calcite (classic material)

Item Description

These specimens are some of the most easily recognizable, dramatic and highly sought after Silver specimens from the Western Hemisphere. This specimen is a nice example of this well known material. It is a good representative piece featuring a bright, sharp, Spinel-law twinned, "Herringbone"-style crystal group sitting on Calcite. Under high magnification, some small groups of an unknown purple mineral are present. The various habits of Silver are part of what makes Batopilas such a great locality. They are immediately distinguished from all other Silver specimens around the world.
