While Mexico might be more productive, old Germany's silver mines are and have always been the most historic and classic source for the silver species Acanthite and Argentite. This is a sharp, elegant, extended crystal cluster of acanthite, that makes for a really dramatic display as a mounted thumbnail specimen. Complete all around. From the award-winning thumbnail collection of Sharon and William Panczner, author of the book Minerals Of Mexico, and last seen and exhibited in the 1960s.
