This is a remarkable silver "rope" from this classic locality that is now closed and gone forever. It was one of those funny stories in mining that you hear about and cannot believe - they actually mined this silver form an islet in the Great Lakes, that is now long since closed and flooded. Verifiable silver islet specimens are few and far between, and this would be considered a large one, indeed. It came to me through dealer Rod Tyson who obtained it directly from the heirs of a mine captain named Trethewey a few years ago up in Ontario. 5.5 cm
