Description |
An extremely, unusually-shaped specimen of this rare silver species, from the classic and best locality of old Broken Hill. This piece is solid bromian Chlorargyrite, with a unique coral-like form. The olive-green crystals are moderately lustrous. This is a rare member of the group of related silver chlorides from Broken Hill, and hard to obtain today in good specimens. These were mined in the 1940s mostly (with perhaps a trickle coming out later in the 60s). Ex. Edwards and South Australia Museum Collections, obtained form the museum in exchange. |
