Silver with Rhodochrosite and Acanthite, Quartz, Calcite  

TC21400NRT: Arborescent crystals of Silver on a Calcite matrix with Rhodochrosite crystals coating the crystals of Silver, Quartz and small crystalline concretions of Acanthite. The specimen is from a locality where Silver is known but which yields collectable specimens only sporadically, and even more sporadically with this extremely unusual combo of Rhodochrosite coating Silver crystals.
It comes from the collection of Ignacio Gaspar Sintes (number PL-34), whose label we will send to the buyer.

Specimen size: 6.3 × 5 × 3.3 cm = 2.48” × 1.97” × 1.30”
