Description/Interesting Notes: An absolutely extraordinary example of native silver from this seldom referenced Colorado locale!!! Let me start off by saying that this large, impressive specimen is WAY better than the pics show!!! To find such large, rich examples of native silv...er from Colorado is next to impossible!!! This specimen's broad face is absolutely loaded with dense masses of minute native silver wires intimately intergrown with, and replacing, tiny cubo-octahedral crystals of galena (there is likely some acanthite present here as well)!!! All of that rich native silver is aesthetically offset by sharp, stark white baryte crystals!!! The baryte crystals are present as sharp, lustrous, white bladed crystals - many of which are selectively coated by tiny quartz crystals on the broad faces!!! This is a significant and noteworthy native specimen from Colorado!!! Ex. Chet Lemanski collection!!!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!!!
