North Kearsarge mine, Houghton Co., Michigan, USA

description:

This wonderful specimen was, from what I am told, Bill's favorite specimen in the collection. Branching thick crystallized native silver coming nicely off a crystallized native copper matrix. This is in super condition. There is an enormous amount of paperwork in history with the specimen as seen at the end of the video. At one time this was part of the collection of Lincoln Ellsworth. Mr. Ellsworth, in 1935, flew a single engine airplane over Antarctica. The specimen is been figured in numerous publications as seen on the various labels at the end of the video. At one time the piece was appraised at $60,000.
