CHOICE XL SILVER, ALLARGENTUM & PROUSTITE: BOUISMAS MINE, BOU AZER, MOROCCO NR!

Description

This piece comes from a small silver ore vein known as the Bouismas Mine, Bou Azer District, Tazenacht, Ourzazate Province, Souss-Massa-Draa Region, Morocco that is quite unique in the mineral world.  This vein is composed of native silver with dyscrasite and allargentum growing in a matrix of calcite and actinolite, with varying degrees of pseudomorphing of usually dyscrasite to silver.  These specimens created quite the stir in the mineral world several years ago.  These are really good specimens from this small occurrence and should be of high interest to silver mineral collectors.
Here is a very high quality thumbnail sized specimen composed of rich crystalline native silver and allargentum  growing with a little sphalerite and on the backside scattered small areas of the deep red ruby silver mineral proustite that has been etched out of a white calcite and actinolite matrix with rich silver mineral growths on all sides!   This very sweet specimen measures 2.0 x 1.6 x 1.5 cm in size, it weighs 5.26 grams not including the case, and 17 grams including the case, and it comes professionally labeled and mounted in a 1.25 inch square clear, hinged plastic case and ready for immediate display.
This is a high quality aesthetic, rich and fine crystalline silver mineral specimen that is worth a long look under a hand lens, the crystallizations are awesome, and the white calcite matrix is also nicely FLUORESCENT an orange-red under shortwave ultraviolet light.
