Killer Sphalerite, Galena & Acanthite Mendota mine Silver Plume Colorado: $45.00
Here offered is a very good example of the ore veins that were mined in Clear Creek County at one of the first silver boom towns in Colorado. Specimens from this locality rarely show up on the market. The specimen consists of tightly intergrown sphalerite, galena, pyrite as well some polybasite and acanthite (photo 2) near the base of the ore. The pyrargyrite and polybasite within the Silver Plume district are often near the base of the other sulfides adjacent to the host rock. The ores are complex and quite interesting to study under the microscope as well. 10.5x5.5x5.5 cm
