Native Silver with, and replacing, Acanthite & Polybasite Freiberg, Freiberg District, Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany 3.42cm x 3cm x 1.9cm Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum #DM-2228

Description/Interesting Notes: A unique, old time combination of native silver, acanthite, and polybasite from Germany!!! Let me start by saying that this specimen is way better than the pictures show!!! This specimen consists of a complex cluster of acanthite and polybasite crystals that have been partially replaced by native silver!!! There is much more dimension and structure to this specimen than it appears in the pics, and there is a lot more to see than the pictures show!!! In addition to the native silver that is replacing the other crystals, there are numerous wires of native silver scattered about as well!!! There are numerous complex acanthite crystals present - some have highly complex habits, some are more classic cubo-octahedral forms, a few have curiously hollowed out forms, and some are partially replaced by native silver!!! The largest polybasite crystal present has been almost entirely replaced by native silver, as are the several smaller polybasite crystals in close association!!! There are a few smaller polybasite crystals scattered about that are unaltered as well!!! There are possibly some other species in association as well!!! This is a most unusual specimen indeed - the native silver replacements are not mere "coatings" of silver but actual, solid replacements or pseudomorphs!!! Simply an incredible old time example of native silver, acanthite and polybasite from Germany!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
