Description
This is an exceedingly rich specimen with good pedigree, containing about the most Argentopyrite you will ever see on one specimen. Argentopyrite is a rare silver species. What is particularly nice about this piece is that the crystallization is so rich it makes for a readily visible cluster of "knobs" so you don't have to look for the usual microcrystal or two. The association with gemmy red proustite crystals is an added bonus!
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
