Rare and historical specimen of Chlorargyrite with Malachite from California!
These fine tan colored crystals of Chlorargyrite are framed by fibrous green Malachite.

population. When the Borax operation shut down in 1907, the desert town was completely
abandoned and became a ghost town. Today, Calico has been restored and is now a park.

Multi-mineral combo featuring Tetrahedrite with Sphalerite, Pyrite, Dolomite on Quartz!
This is a showy piece. The Tetrahedrites are sharp and lustrous. The Sphalerite crystals
are gemmy amber-brown. The Pyrite cubes are bright and striated. The Dolomite appears
as crystal cluster balls and finally, the Quartz needles rise up from the matrix to hold it
all together. Any contacts are minor and easily lost in the rich association of minerals.
