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


Native Silver with Calcite

Kongsberg Silver Mining District, Kongsberg, Buskerud, Norway

3.75cm x 3cm x 1.2cm

Ex. Florence Mecke Collection No. 39-Z


Description/Interesting Notes:

A magnificent, old time example of native silver from Kongsberg!!! While one typically thinks of the classic silver wires and "ropes" from this famous region, it also produced a number of exceptional examples of finely crystallized native silver!!! This specimen hosts several thick, spinel twin crystals of brilliant native silver in association with some minor galena and sphalerite on a calcite matrix!!! The thick, showy crystals have brilliant metallic luster and sharply defined faces!!! The pics don't even come close to capturing just how fine and showy this specimen is!!! This specimen displays magnificently all around and is in pristine condition!!! This specimen is from the collection of Florence Mecke and retains its original label as well!!! 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!!!
