This is a fascinating Native Silver and essentially a two-sided specimen. The large Native Silver leaf juts out from the main
Silver portion, displaying beautifully textured and brilliantly lustrous surfaces. On the backside (or front side if you prefer) are
Acanthite crystalline balls along the bottom, just below the leaf. A great looking Silver from a lesser seen and rarer Cobalt mine.

Attractive specimen featuring fine crystals of Acanthite and Chalcopyrite on Quartz atop Silver-rich matrix!
I love the look of this specimen with the fine cubes of Acanthite and bright golden Chalcopyrite sitting inside
what is probably a Quartz lined pocket that has been opened and exposed. These crystals sit atop a matrix
that is quite rich and full of Silver mineralization. They are bright and lustrous with sharp crystal habits.

Gemmy cubes of Fluorite with dark purple phantoming on Sphalerite crystal matrix!
An attractive specimen with lots of flashy eye appeal. The cubes measure to nearly 3 cm in size and are
very transparent, allowing for light to enter and bounce around, giving the crystals a strong brlliance.
The darker phantoms are very distinct and the contrast between the Fluorite and the super lustrous
Sphalerite crystals which form the matrix is stunning. In great shape with only one tiny corner cleave.
