Silver with Acanthite (fake)
specimen number:
1821293
location:
Morocco
description: Very thin wires of native silver coming off a matrix of crystallized acanthite. I am 100% certain that these are faked and are grown by heating up the acanthite to produce the silver wires on top. Still interesting additions to any collection of fake minerals. Measures 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.0 cm. Shipping weight: 0.08 pounds.
Size: 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.0 cm (miniature)
