Item Description
Sharp, super lustrous, machine-carved-looking pyrargyrites to 9 mm make this little matrix specimen a jewel of a rock. The crystals are not big, but they have presence, and they light up when backlit. The matrix is richly covered with glassy calcite rhombs making this a fine combination piece. A very fine combination old classic from this important mining district, that displays well from several angles. Valued at $750.
