Silver with minor Acanthite
Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico

It is very hard to get wire specimens of native silver from Mexico. For the amount of silver sulfides available, you might expect to see more wires. Actually, I have gotten very few in 50 trips to Mexico over the past 25+ years. This piece is from Guanajuato, my favorite town in Mexico. The specimen measures 4.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 cm. The looping wire stands about 1.5 cm above the matrix of druzy quartz crystals. No damage. No wire specimens have come from Guanajuato in many years now. The cluster of wires in back is decorated with black acanthites/
