Acanthite with Chalcopyrite Pachuca de Soto (Pachuca), Mun. de Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico 3.88cm x 3.25cm x 2.6cm Ex. Howard Belsky

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic example of acanthite from this seldom referenced old time locality!!! This specimen hosts a cluster of complex acanthite crystals prominently perched on a quartz crystal-lined matrix!!! The acanthite crystals exhibit some complex, modified cubic forms with sharp faces and brilliant, metallic luster!!! The crystals are in fantastic condition and are quite showy in person!!! There is some golden chalcopyrite present on the matrix and accenting some of the acanthite crystals!!! In fact, there are some acanthite crystals that are nearly coated in a thin layer of microcrystalline chalcopyrite, which is quite handsome in person and provides a terrific accent to the silvery metallic acanthite crystals!!! Interestingly, there are some smalleroctahedral modified acanthite crystals that show this coating in the pics (upon close inspection in person you can clearly see the acanthite peeking through - these are not pyrite crystals)!!! This is an exceptional specimen from this rare locality!!! This specimen is WAY better than the pics show!!! This specimen displays fantastically and is in magnificent condition!!! Rare old time material!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
