4.5 x 3.7 x 3.3 cm. Discrete, highly lustrous, yellow-green bromian chlorargyrite crystals nicely scattered in a vug lined with lustrous, colorless to gray smithsonite botryoids from old Broken Hill, Australia. This is a rare member of the group of related silver chlorides from Broken Hill, and hard to obtain today in good crystals. These were mined in the 1940s mostly (with perhaps a trickle coming out later in the 60s ?). This specimen has EXTREMELY sharp, well-formed, discrete crystals, with superb lustre. An excellent combination specimen. Ex. Marty Zinn Collection # 2210.
5.2 x 4.5 x 2.3 cm. Unusual "ropey" crystals of Bromargyrite nestled in a specimen that itself has not the shape of random matrix to it…all suggesting this is a solid piece of pure Bromargyrite pseudomorph after silver - quite in line with the locality, but an unusual occurrence nonetheless. From the collection of notable museum supporter William Sansom Vaux. Ex. Philadelphia Academy of Sciences Collection.
6.0 x 4.3 x 3.1 cm. A rounded, robust, thick growth of the silver halide bromargyrite, from this classic silver mine which was intensely worked in the late 1800s. A bromargyrite from here of such richness is highly uncommon. Ex. Philadelphia Academy of Sciences Collection.
4.7 x 3.9 x 3.5 cm. This mineral species, a rare silver bromide, reaches its zenith here at the Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia. Elongated, lustrous, translucent, green crystals of bromargyrite to .7 cm in length, sit up on matrix. In some ways the bromargyrite crystals look like jelly beans. Classic and beautiful for this material. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.

A rounded, robust, thick growth of the silver halide bromargyrite, from this classic silver mine which was intensely worked in the late 1800s. A bromargyrite from here of such richness is highly uncommon! And it is somewhat aesthetic.
