Title: Silver ore
Post by: Jhon P on July 08, 2020, 07:16:45 AM

3 1/2” this is silver ore from Nevada. It was hard to photograph
You can see gold Pryrite, the silver oxide it like a mirror, it’s reflecting everything. There are flecks of silver. Some blues and green. Copper?
 You would have to hold it in your hand to see all of the colors and the mirror finish on all the metallic surfaces

Interesting mix of minerals. A photo can't show all that's really there.

Nice looking! I was starting to think our forum was down to two sphere makers posting.

Love the variety!  Must weigh a bit in the palm, eh?

It’s heavy for its size. When I see the guy I got it from I am going to ask him if he knows the silver content
