Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic example of acanthite from this seldom referenced Japanese locality!!! This specimen a group of silvery gray acanthite crystals on a matrix of colorless fluorite and quartz crystals!!! The acanthite is present as complexly modified, bright, silvery metallic crystals prominently perched among intergrown crystals of quartz and colorless fluorite crystals!!! The fluorite crystals have stepped cubic habits and translucent to gemmy clarity!!! Upon close inspection the fluorite crystals closest to the acanthite has a slight, silvery sheen on its surface - a fascinating, curious feature!!! There are some smaller crystals of acanthite scattered about the specimen as well, in association with a small amount of brownish chlorargyrite (intermixed with some earthy substrate)!!!
