A "spongy," but hefty lead-rich ore is the host for patches of silver, to 1.0 cm across, with good oxidation patina. The silver is associated with blebs of grayish-white cerussite. This oldtime specimen appears to date back to the EARLY part of the 19th century, perhaps the mid-1800s or earlier. The name alone indicates it was taken and labeled before the mini-silver rush in which this mine was consolidated into Silver Hill. Ex Philadelphia Academy of Science with a total of three old labels. SOLD AS A SET ONLY with item TUC8-104
