Proustite with Acanthite O'Brien Mine, Coleman Township, Cobalt area, Ontario, Canada 7.1cm x 5.12cm x 2.64cm

Description/Interesting Notes: An absolutely magnificent, old time example of proustite from Canada!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of bright, ruby red proustite crystals in association with scattered crystals of grayish acanthite on a silvery matrix of unidentified cobalt-iron-nickel arsenides!!! The proustite crystals have sharp, brilliantly lustrous faces with bright gem clarity and intense ruby red color!!! The proustite crystals have sharp, acutely pointed terminations that give them a striking appearance upon close inspection!!! There are scattered crystals of somewhat complex, cubo-octahedral acanthite intergrown with the matrix and proustite crystals!!! There are also some small silvery crystals of what appear to be complex skutterudite crystals!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition and there is much more proustite present than it appears in the pics!!! The color of the proustite crystals is simply amazing in person - BRIGHT ruby red!!! Amazing 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!!!
