A superb, rare locality specimen with a valid old label clearly showing this is from ANNABERG and not the more commmonly seen Freiberg district. Sharp crystals of calcite decorate and accent this solid cluster of 100% crystallized acanthite, which I have not cleaned to enhance its brightness and so it remains au naturale. Probably from the early to mid 1800s, this is a very rare locality specimen.
