Acanthite with Silver, Galena
specimen number:
4281045
location:
Creede, Mineral Co., Colorado, USA
description:
A grouping of crudely crystallized acanthite, wires of native silver scattered throughout. Very minor galena present as well. I think this is a very neat specimen for this old classic Colorado mining district. Previous label states that this was collected around 1920.
