2JF-XACNative Silver Ag , Acanthite Ag2S
A tremendous specimen of Native Wire Silver on massive Acanthite!
This was one of only two specimens that appeared at the Denver Mineral Show and I grabbed it
immediately. The story behind this 10 cm tall wire-rope is pretty amazing but from what I understand,
a small find of wire Silver was found in the late 1970's at the Dukat mine which is mainly known for its
massive Acanthite ore. One of the miners, at some risk to himself at the time, saved a few specimens
and put them into storage for posterity. The specimens were later sold and the two that I saw in
Denver were possibly the two finest of the small number hoarded some three decades ago. I can
honestly say I've never seen any others and only know of one other which is currently owned by
a dealer friend of mine (we split the find). I was struck by the grace and luster of this specimen
as well as the matrix (which I ALWAYS prefer with Silvers). Definately a unique opportunity!
