***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Native Silver with Quartz

Lusaka, Lusaka Province, Zambia

3.2cm x 2.05cm x 1.77cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A fantastic, rare locality example of native silver from Zambia!!! This specimen is comprised almost entirely of solid native silver in association with just a few tiny quartz crystals!!! This is not simply a "mass" of native silver - no - this specimen is actually completely crystallin!!! While it is difficult to appreciate in the pics, the specimen actually has broad flashes of metallic luster made up of a multitude of submillimeter crystal faces!!! When viewed at different angles, complex geometric forms exhibit a velveteen flash of metallic luster!!! This effect is present around the entire specimen!!! What's more is that these areas of oriented luster bare no relation to the underlying shape of the overall specimen!!! This specimen is in terrific condition and is complete all around!!! This is one of only a handful of examples of native silver I have seen from Zambia!!! These specimens are very scarce indeed!!! 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!!!
