The famous mines at Chanarcillo, Chile produced a rich array of beautiful silver-related species. This aesthetic "feather" of elongated, spinel-twinned silver crystals is a classic Chanarcillo habit. Tiny acanthite crystals richly pepper the feather, and the pod of attached matrix are striking accents. Undoubtedly century-old material, but no proof. Ex. Dr. Joan Massague Collection.
