Native Silver with Brochantite & minor Cerussite on Chalcocite

Calumet & Arizona Mine, Lowell, Bisbee, Warren District, Mule Mts, Cochise Co., Arizona

8.4cm x 4.73cm x 4.73cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare, old time example of native silver from Bisbee!!! This specimen consists of a dark, massive chalcocite matrix that hosts several bright, leaf-like crystals of native silver in association with dramatically compressed cerussite crystals!!! The native silver is actually crystalline material, not simply massive leaf silver!!! The contrast of the silver against the dark chalcocite makes for a rather handsome display!!! However, upon further inspection there is much more going on here than it might first appear!!! When I examined this specimen with the stereoscope I was amazed to find that these silver crystals are actually pseudomorphs after the cerussite!!! The crystallization that the silver exhibits is identical to the cerussite crystals and there are a few instances on the specimen where they are actually intergrown!!! This specimen is simply amazing in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Rare, old time material!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
