ACANTHITE SEAM! I love large matrix
specimens of Silver and this one fits the bill!
First of all, I want to point out that the matrix surrounding this crystal seam is very
rich and composed
of numerous Silver Sulfide seams. In the open seam itself, you find dozens of Quartz
needles and
Acanthite crystals! Many of the Acanthite crystals are actually draped atop Quartz points
and almost
appear "melted" in places. This is due to the Acanthite pseudomorphing the high
temperature
Argentite and adopting its exact shape. Measuring, this is one rich Silver specimen!
From Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Mexico. Measures 20 cm by 13 cm by 14 cm in total size.

WOW! Look at the fire flash in this Fire
Opal specimen from Virgin Valley, Nevada!
The Opal filled the interior of a piece of petrified wood and every color is intense.
Reds,
greens, blues, purples, orange, and yellow cover the top half and other parts of this
remarkable specimen. I find it especially remarkable because it doesn't need a water
filled beaker to be displayed. This is one of those rare Virgin Valley Opals that has
successfully released most of its water without shattering into pieces. Discovered in 1936
by famed collector/dealer Chester R. Howard, this exceptional specimen measures
8 cm by 7.5 cm by 7 cm and retains a good part of the petrified bark on the backside.
From the Virgin Valley Opal Fields, Humboldt County, Nevada.
