Native Silver with Acanthite Vizcaina Mine, Mineral del Monte, Hidalgo, Mexico 9.9cm x 7cm x 3.7cm Ex. Ottinger Collection Ex. John S. Albanese

Description/Interesting Notes: An old, rare locality example of native silver from Mexico!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of native silver across its broad face and throughout the matrix as well!!! Upon close examination, one can see that the native silver is actually comprised of minute, compact wires!!! There is some acanthite in association as well as some other unidentified species and numerous small masses of lively red proustite or pyrargyrite!!! This specimen is way better than the pictures show!!! The native silver rich, showy, and prominent!!! Old time native silver specimens from this locality are extremely rare indeed!!! This specimen retains old labels from the Ottinger Collection and John Albanese as well!!! (Interestingly, the Ottinger Collection label appears to have been written on old stationary from The New York Mineralogical Club)!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
