Description/Interesting Notes:

A historic, old time example of chlorargyrite from Utah!!! Frisco was well known as one of the wildest boom-towns in the region!!! The Horn Silver Mine was discovered in 1875 and, tragically, caved in on February 13th 1885!!! Old time specimens from this locality are quite scarce today!!! This specimen consists of a quartz matrix that hosts a significant showing of grayish chlorargryite scattered across its surfaces!!! Upon close inspection one can see some subhedral crystal forms in the chlorargyrite as well!!! Chlorargyrite is also known as "horn silver" and it is from this very material that this historic locality got its name!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains its original label and catalogue number as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
