Silver with Calcite

Very aerial laminar growth with fresh, very well marked crystalline surfaces. It is on a rocky matrix, with cleaved Calcite. Its excellent condition of conservation in spite of the long time since it was mined suggests it hasn’t embedded or interstitial mercury. It is not, then, the variety kongsbergite, the more typical Silver at this locality.
