MIN#SILVER-61 NEW!

Crazy, winding wires of Native Silver!

MIN#SILVER-62 NEW!

EXCEPTIONAL! Deep, vibrant red clusters of Proustite accented by Acanthite crystals!
Both of these Silver Sulfides sit atop matrix with a weird "horn-like" pseudomorph of
a Native Silver wire. I'm not sure what the mineral is that pseudomorphs the Silver
but I'm trying to find out. All in all, this is a tremendous Silver combo specimen and
the Proustite is as red as Proustite gets! The Acanthite xls are pretty nice too.
From the Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province, Lima Department, Peru.
Measures 6.3 cm by 3.9 cm in size.
Price $3250

MIN#SILVER-63 NEW!

RARE SILVER!!! Sharp, lustrous crystals of Acanthite on Quartz matrix!
This is the rarest Acanthite specimen in my entire collection! It comes from
the Victor Mine which was part of the Tonopah Extension Company in
Tonopah, Nevada and dates to 1906-1910. Measures 3.9 cm by 2.8 cm.
The main Acanthite crystal (upper left) measures 2+ cm in length!
A CLASSIC Nevada Silver specimen from the early Jim Butler days.

Tonopah, Nevada with mines in the distance.

I can't imagine more than a handful of these nearly century specimens still
exist and matrix specimens are unheard of outside of museums!
