Silver with Rhodochrosite (Ref: 8.1-278)
Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province, Lima Department, Peru
56mm x 42mm x 43mm
minID: VH1-RE2
From a find about 20 years ago, this is a very striking example of well formed Silver growing from a Quartz and Rhodochrosite vug. Super esthetic, undamaged and with excellent contrast this is a very fine Silver example. Several wires over 2 CM long and relatively thick are complexly crystallized. One single sharply terminated Silver crystal is protruding 9mm from the quartz with spear-like form. The Rhodos are a series of stacked tiny rhombohedra and add a further contrast and a very special association. An old Dave Bunk label has a 1500.00 price tag on it, it is a fine specimen.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
