This is a really great sample, very esthetic, with the branches of the Silver very aerial, and clearly showing the Spinel twinning. This form is not that uncommon in the silvers from Mexico, but it is not normally this obvious. So, as we said, a great one.
The specimen has been reviewed, photographed and published in the magazine ‘Rivista Mineralogica Italiana’ on page 245 in number 2005/4.
