Item Description
A good representative specimen of the rare Gold Silver Telluride, Sylvanite. This piece hosts several small, sharp, highly lustrous, whitish-gold color, striated, metallic, monoclinic blades on Quartz matrix. The crystals are small (approx 1-2 mm), but this species is rarely seen for sale on the open market, and is one of the most highly sought after species from this historic Gold mining district.
