$65.00

Here offered is an amazing specimen from a very rare locality that was collected years ago before the Iron Curtain came down and Germany was united. The mine is nestled deep in the Harz Mountains not too far from the more famous St. Andreasberg district. Specimens from the Wiemannsbucht mine in Bad Grund are not common whatsoever and they are rare even in Germany. The specimen consists of of multiple perfect little dark ruby-red pyrargyrite crystals sprinkled over the face of one side of the specimen. I would say there are 10-15 little crystals. The matrix is made up of glittering galena with massive pyrargyrite tightly intergrown. The little pyrargyrite crystals are visible to the naked eye but under a hand lens or microscope, their perfect symmetry is extremely evident. They have perfect terminations and such an amazing dark red-black color. I cannot overstate how rare this specimen is! Pyrargyrite from this locality is very very rare and highly sought after. The specimen is way better then the pictures and is a treasured piece from my personal collection. The only one I have!
