Stephanite Comstock Lode, Comstock District, Storey Co., Nevada 8.6cm x 7.25cm x 4.1cm Ex. L. L. Hubbard Collection (1849-1933) Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum #DM-3521

Description/Interesting Notes: A historic, old time example of stephanite from the Comstock Lode!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of stephanite in intimate association with other sulfides!!! Upon close inspection, the large, dark masses on the specimen consist of a complex mixture of chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and several other species, with the stephanite being present as massive, altered material cementing it all together!!! The specimen also hosts concentric networks of tiny grains of stephanite in the matrix as well!!! Specimens from this locality are quite scarce today, as very few specimens survived smelting in the fervent search for riches!!! Nevada is known as "The Silver State" due to its rich silver-mining history and it all began in this famous district!!! This specimen retains an old A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum label with L.L. Hubbard Collection notation!!! 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!!!
