Native Silver La Nevada Mine, Cerro San Antonio,...
Native Silver La Nevada Mine, Cerro San Antonio, San Miguel, Batopilas, Andres del Rio District, Mun. de Batopilas, Chihuahua, Mexico "A relatively flat 10 cm specimen of intergrown herring bone silver crystals. Bought as part of a large lot of crystallized from John Whitmeyer [sic]." - Rock H. Currier If Johnny were still alive, chances are he'd ream Currier a new one for misspelling his name every time. At one time, John had stacks of flats of this material taller than he was. Somehow, it just went away, never to be seen again. Once in a while, a piece like this one will surface, but almost never more than one. Where do these things end up? Are you hoarding these things? Overall Measurements: 3.9 x 2.4 x 0.4 inches (10.0 x 6.0 x 1.0 cm) Offered at no reserve Provenance: Bought from John Whitmire [RHC #4025, acquired 1980] [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
