Description

An outstanding, relatively large, brilliantly metallic, lustrous specimen of Pyrargyrite on white Quartz matrix from a 2006 find at Fresnillo, Mexico. The piece is a stacked aggregate of numerous, multifaced  crystals up to 1cm. Crystals exhibit relatively smooth prism faces and the terminations are composite. When strongly backlight it glows ruby red, under normal lighting it is very bright and it glimmers. This is a great specimen from a great find many years ago and consequently hard to come by nowadays.
