Description
This is an important crystal of the species for the sheer size and thickness! The luster is spectacular. It is, on first glance, hard to place for being a pyrargyrite because it is so robust a crystal. From the important locality of Fresnillo, this is an outstanding compound crystal with a brilliant, metallic luster. The termination is very good, and there is minor matrix. One incipient crack is near the bottom, but that is not cracked through or repaired. Despite the thickness of the crystal, there is still light transmission and a red glow when brightly lit. But just under normal lights, it is so bright and shiny that you think it must be a sulfide of some kind, rather than Pyrargyrite at the top of its game for luster.

Pyrargyrite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
