1.855 Kg

Ex. John J. Durkos Collection No. 558


Description/Interesting Notes:

A magnificent, old time example of native silver from this classic Canadian locale!!! This specimen consists of a VERY rich vein of native silver with safflorite and calcite that has been cut and polished on three sides!!! This specimen hosts a VERY rich showing of native silver - you can clearly see the brighter silver hue of the native silver in association with the safflorite!!! This is a killer, old time specimen from a great locale!!! This specimen is from the collection of John J. Durkos and retains his original detailed labels as well as its original painted wood base!!! One can see areas of native silver jutting out from the natural surfaces on the specimen as well!!! This specimen weighs 1.855Kg or over 4lbs!!! The old label notes that the specimen is estimated to contain 2lbs. of silver!!! This specimen is worth a very significant sum just based on its rich silver content!!! This specimen is very showy and striking in person - the brilliance, patterns, and metallic hues are simply fantastic!!! Classic material!!! Don't miss out on this valuable beauty!!! 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!!! STAY TUNED!!!
