EM92AF0: Silver with Calcite and Löllingite

Growths of unusually sharp and well defined Silver crystals that are bright and on matrix, with Calcite and Löllingite. Although we haven’t our own analysis there is a general consensus that these from Tamdrost are really cubic Silver and not pseudomorphs or epitaxial overgrowths.
The specimen has been photographed and published in the magazine ‘Paragénesis’, number 01/2017, page 68, the magazine ‘Mineralogical Record’ on page 448 in the volume 48, number 3, and in the book "Minéraux - Le Guide des Passionnés" (page 51)

A very rare combination of native Silver with Fluorite. Silver grew in arborescent clusters of small crystals having very sharp faces and edges. On them, small purple crystals of Fluorite crystallized. The region where the Bonanza Mine is located is part of the Canadian Shield and is known for its hydrothermal deposits of uranium, silver, and copper hosted in Archean and Proterozoic igneous and metamorphic rocks. Port Radium became one of the major uranium production centers in the mid-20th century, particularly during World War II
