Bromargyite with Smithsonite
Collection
John Betts - Fine Minerals
Description
Discrete, highly lustrous, yellow-green Bromargyrite crystals nicely scattered in a vug lined with lustrous, colorless to gray Smithsonite botryoids from old Broken Hill, Australia. This is a rare member of the group of related silver chlorides from Broken Hill, and hard to obtain today in good crystals. These were mined in the 1940's mostly (with perhaps a trickle coming out later in the 60's). This specimen has extremely sharp, well-formed, discrete crystals, with superb luster. An excellent combination specimen. Ex. Marty Zinn Collection # 2210.
