SOLD
A large display face with flat-laying crystals of dark red pyrargyrite, typical of the locality but rare in larger specimens like this. Some crystals are damaged, but nonetheless there is rich coverage by leaf-like or dendritic veins of crystallized pyrargyrite over the piece and it is somewhat lustrous and attractive as an overall.
