Santa Eulalia in Chihuahua, Mexico is famous for minerals, but most people are not aware of the fine acanthite crystals that have been found there. This one is a great miniature of branching intergrown cubes typical of the species. The acanthite from this mine typically have a somewhat satiny luster as this one exhibits. A rare locality to fill in your Mexican silver suite.
