RC96H9: We can consider it a classic among classics. Effectively, Pyrargyrite one of the species of reference for old German localities and especially for St. Andreasberg. The group is formed for relatively short crystals with excellent terminations formed by three faces of the rhombohedron. Color and luster, especially if we consider the antiquity of the sample, are very good.
