DZ1409 - Acanthite with Chalcopyrite

$ 250.00 DISCOUNTED 30.00% OFF TO $ 175.00
A well formed, hoppered single crystal of acanthite from one of the most famous mines in Northern Mexico. The label lists the specimen as a polybasite from Moctezuma, but that is an obvious error. I especially like the historic pricetag of $4.00 which was the sale price in 1937.
