Description/Interesting Notes: A rare example of native silver from this historic Colorado locale!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of native silver present as complex, wirey crystals of native silver intimately intergrown with massive, reddish colored baryte!!! The majority of the native silver crystals show elo...ngated, wirey spinel-twin forms although there are also some instances where the crystals show robust, platy forms and chunky, irregular forms as well!!! One face of this specimen has been expertly cut and polished to show just how rich this material is (however the remainder of the specimen is even more rich than the polished area shows!)!!! Specimens from this historic locale are quite scarce and seldom seen on the market!!! The baryte matrix is diagnostic and characteristic of the locale!!! 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!!!
