Rich!! 2x Proustite & Pyrargyrite in Silver Ore Isabella Mine Austin Nevada

Description

Here are 2 small but very rich examples of silver ore from the Reese River Mining District in Lander county scattered with prized ruby silvers, primarily proustite and pyrargyrite.   Any ruby silvers from Nevada are very rarely offered and if they are offered, the specimens usually consist of prices that the average collector could never afford.
The proustite in this specimen has been kept in the dark so that it keeps its ruby red color.  If exposed to light for several hours, it will quickly lose its color and become dark, eventually completely black.
Larger specimen: 7x3.5x2.5 cm
Smaller Specimen: 3.5x3x3 cm
