Description

Historic specimen of “feathery” native silver crystals on granitic gangue.

A remarkable crystallization, and a good-sized one at that.

Native silver crystals from Chile, with no further indications. This crystallization could correspond to the Charñacillo…. deposit.

Specimen delivered with a handwritten label from the 20th century and another from the same period from Comptoir Central d’Histoire Naturelle Nérée Boubée & Cie, Paris.

Here’s a video of these silver crystals from Chile :
