Dozens of brilliantly metallic crystals to just over 1 cm, grace a large display face of this rich specimen of pyrargyrite from a classic locality. Fresnillo is one of the most famous mines ever for silver species, and is still producing specimens rarely today - but big pieces like this have always been uncommon.
