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


Native Silver with Acanthite

Great Bear Lake, Mackenzie District, Northwest Territories, Canada

10.2cm x 9.35cm x 7cm

1125 grams! (1.123Kg)


Description/Interesting Notes:

An incredible, old time example of native silver from this classic Canadian locale!!! This hefty specimen weighs an impressive 1.125 Kg and is just loaded with native silver!!! This specimen hosts a large, prominent mass of VERY densely intergrown groups of fine, herringbone-like crystals of native silver!!! In addition to the large mass of native silver, there are numerous crystals richly distributed throughout the matrix as well!!! There are also masses of darkly colored acanthite present as well, including a highly complex crystal!!! The matrix is largely comprised of quartz (both massive and crystalline) and calcite with several areas actually hosting small but sharp quartz crystals!!! The large mass of densely intergrown native silver crystals appears to be encapsulated by a thin band of calcite and cemented together with calcite and acanthite!!! This specimen is easily worth hundreds of dollars for its silver content alone!!! Classic 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!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 9th!!!
