In the classic Las Herrerías Mine, works done in 1999 has revealed new Silvers in the zone of secondary enrichment, quite similar to those found many years ago in that mine and which are represented in the world's most important museums. The new pieces have a very high content (±10%) of Mercury. In addition, when analyzing them, we saw that they had a large amount of Chlorargyrite scattered throughout. As always, we will send a copy of these analyses to whoever buys the piece. This particular specimen is very solid, unlike the more 'fluffy' classical pieces, and exhibits very aerial growths.
