A very aesthetic cluster of lustrous, intergrown, ruby-red pyrargyrite crystals from the famous mines of Zacatecas, Mexico. This CLASSIC and really cute thumbnail is complete all-around and only has one broken crystal stalk on the back, which is out of sight. The microcrystals are really sharp and you can see why pyrargyrite is called "ruby silver." Older material from the Dick Jones Collection.
