Description/Interesting Notes: A rare, historic specimen from Nevada's Silver Boom!!! In 1862, a few short years after the Comstock Lode discovery, the Reese River mining district was the second major silver discovery in Nevada!!! The Reese River district area was feverishly mined and was effectively exhausted by 1887!!! This specimen hosts a broad face dotted with complex combinations of sulphides!!! The scattered clusters of crystals consist of intergrown combos of stephanite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and sphalerite!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains its original label with I.W. Byer collection notation as well!!! Specimens from Nevada's "Silver Boom" are rarely seen today!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
