These elegant new wire silvers have been coming from China in small numbers. VERY expensive in larger sizes, but affordable as fine thumbers! 3 x 0.7 x 0.5 cm
These elegant new wire silvers have been coming from China in small numbers. VERY expensive in larger sizes, but affordable as fine thumbers! 2.7 x 1 x 0.2 cm
A showy, rich, ore specimen of lustrous, rose-gold niccolite (nickeline) with micro cobaltite crystals and micro silver wires from the famous Cobalt area of Ontario, Canada. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 9.7 x 6.6 x 3.5 cm
An EXTREMELY RICH, OLD-TIME and uncommon combination piece from Batolpilas, Mexico of dendritic, silver wires in lustrous barite. Barite and silver combos are rarely seen in the market today from Batopilas. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 5.2 x 3.5 x 3.3 cm
A nice chunky, 1.3-ounce crystallized specimen of pure native silver, with pretty sculptural form composed of all the thick crystals grown together – a really nice small mini of CRYSTALLIZED old Michigan silver! Came out of the Paul Jung collection last year. 3.5 x 2.4 x 2 cm
This mine is most noted for its golden spears of barite. However this is an incredible specimen of dendritic silver which has formed on and in massive arsenic ore. The preferred viewing side has one heavy, spray of silver that extends obliquely across the matrix.Ths area of heavier silver is more than 5 cm in length. Simply amazing and rare in this quality on the market! 6 x 4 x 2.5 cm
An EXCELLENT, VERY SHOWY and artistic, flat CABINET mass of native silver with a dominating 3.5 x 3.0 x 2.8 cm mound of silver from the collections of John Sinkankas and Richard Hauck. This fine piece hails from the famous Cobalt area of Ontario, Canada. Much of the specimen is coated with a thin layer of dark red, erythrite, an oxidation product of cobalt and arsenic. 166 grams. 11.0 x 7.8 x 3.2 cm
This is one magnificent, Michigan silver specimen. A plate of silver forms the background for lustrous, dendritic, silver crystal growth out from it, very arborescent and 3-dimensional! There is space between the dendrites, illuminating the beautiful sculptural quality of the piece. It is as fine and well-crystallized a silver miniature, with good crystals, that I have ever been able to offer for this price. Crystallized silver from old Michigan locales tends to sell for a lot more, but I picked this up on the cheap, dirty with old dirt stuck to it, and it cleaned up 4 x 3 x 1.3 cm
EUREKA! A whole BAG of natural wire silver crystals carefully collected by someone at the Chanarcillo locality who knows when . . as you can see, these are really wonderfully articulated wires! various sizes
An OLD-TIME specimen of RICH silver ore from the famous Lone Star Mine of Mohave County, Arizona. Lustrous lathes of platy silver rest in a groundmass with lustrous, striated pyrite crystals. The piece comes with two, old labels, one of which, is attached to the specimen. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 5.7 x 4.0 x 3.8 cm
A RARE and RICH, silver-copper "halfbreed" nugget from the famous Cashin Mine of Montrose County, Colorado. VERY UNCOMMON material. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 1.3 x 1.3 x 1.0 cm
A fine specimen of wire silver from a less-heard-from mine in Mexico - most good silvers you see around hail from Batopilas, so this is quite an exception. As you can see, the wires are quite thick and show pretty, curling forms. 2.2 x 1.9 x 1.9cm
This large, heavy, impressive specimen of native Canadian silver has quite a pedigree, having passed to Earl Calvert in a trade from the Royal Ontario Museum, and thence to Richard Hauck. It is essentially a very large leaf of solid silver, not flimsy at all (it weighs over 5 ounces!). The historic Frontier Mine is also known as the Canadian Keeley Mine. A significant Canadian silver specimen! 13.3 x 9.5 x 2.4cm
The old Silver mines at Kongsberg operated for over 300 years and produced well over 1 million kilograms of Silver during that time ! This old specimen features some small wires of Silver sitting in Calcite matrix. A great old Kongsberg classic. 7.7 x 4.0 x 1.9cm
A showy and excellent branching thumbnail of lustrous, spinel-twinned silver crystals with quartz and copper from the famous Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 2.5 x 2.3 x 0.8 cm
