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 :
