Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum No. RSF-53


Description/Interesting Notes:

An incredibly rare, old time locality example of pyrargyrite from Montana!!! This specimen consists of a quartz crystal matrix that hosts a rich showing of highly complex crystals of pyrargyrite!!! The pyrargyrite crystals range in size up to several millimeters with sharp, lustrous faces!!! There are flashes of red throughout the specimen and the reddish hues are much more apparent in person!!! This specimen is way better than the pics show!!! There is also much more crystalline material than it appears as well!!! This is incredibly rare old time material indeed!!! This specimen is labelled as being from the Fairview Mine "near Helena" - we are currently doing research into any further details on the locality and I will add any relevant findings to the auction!!! This specimen retains an old label from R.M. Wilke (1862-1946) and a label from the Seaman Mineral Museum with notation that it came from the Fitch (1872-1919) collection!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY NOVEMBER 4th!!!
