Uchucchacua Mine, Lima Department, Peru
description: Beautifully crystallized semi-lustrous metallic gray acanthite cluster 8.0 x 4.0 x 1.0 cm in size. Very minor pyrite present as well. Complete all-around. One very tiny micro chip on a lesser spire of crystals, I still think in excellent condition. This is a superb example for the species from this locality. Ex Jordi Povill collection.
