MIN#TUCSON2007-221 NEW!

EXCEPTIONAL! Deep, vibrant red clusters of Proustite accented by Acanthite crystals!
Both of these Silver Sulfides sit atop matrix with a weird "horn-like" pseudomorph of
a Native Silver wire. I'm not sure what the mineral is that pseudomorphs the Silver
but I'm trying to find out. All in all, this is a tremendous Silver combo specimen and
the Proustite is as red as Proustite gets! The Acanthite xls are pretty nice too.
