A historic example of this rare gold and silver telluride from this classic locale!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of
silvery metallic crystals of sylvanite scattered across its broad face!!! Upon close inspection on can see that most of the
sylvanite present is actually crystalline - although there are some rich masses scattered about as well!!! The
crystals consists of complex, irregular forms with brilliant metallic luster!!! The sylvanite shows bright silvery color with
several areas showing a distinct golden hue and slightly iridescent patina!!! This is old material and retains an old, unattributed label
as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer
and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!

***PLEASE NOTE: We are located in coastal New Jersey and our area has been decimated by HURRICANE SANDY. While Mandy and I are safe and did not suffer any damage, the local area is in very bad shape. The National Guard is here and there has been an overwhelming influx of help and support from all over. We have been lucky enough to have our power restored but there is a critical lack of resources throughout the area. As a result, we may experience some shipping delays and encounter other logistical issues. We thank you most sincerely for your kind wishes and patience during this time. We will continue to offer specimens from the Nikischer collection, as well as other recent acquisitions, during this time however - so don't miss out!!!
