That is because of the phenomenal richness that some specimens attain compared with other world occurrences, but this stunning cabinet-sized display piece takes that even further in its quality. It is from the Broken Hill Proprietary mine, and features a 10 cm long, elongated aggregate of resinous white platy Cerussite crystals about which a large section is coated with classic mid-grey waxy-looking Chlorargyrite. Texturally, the silver chloride mineral presents like the surface of a sandy beach riddled with worm casts. Museum quality or world-class, call it what you like this is a magnificent display of this geochemically unusual silver-bearing species. It comes with a custom-made acryllic display stand.
