Origin: Einstein Silver Mine, Madison County, Missouri (St. Francois Mountains).
This impressive 479-gram (1.05 lb) specimen is a premier example of the rare mineralogy found at Missouri\'s only historic silver mine. Sliced to reveal its internal beauty, this piece showcases a high-contrast \"picture stone\" surface of milky quartz and volcanic host rock.
Mineralogy: Features rich, \"super silver\" clusters of Argentiferous Galena (silver-bearing lead ore) and distinct black, metallic laths of Hübnerite (a rare manganese-tungsten mineral). Accented with dark green Chlorite veining throughout.
Dimensions: 6\" tall x 3\" wide x 1\" deep.
Display Ready: This piece is expertly cut to be completely freestanding, making it a perfect shelf or cabinet specimen without the need for additional support.
Historical Significance: Sourced from the famous Greisen-vein deposits of the Einstein Mine, this material represents a unique chapter in Midwestern mining history. With the site now largely restricted, substantial freestanding pieces of this quality are becoming increasingly difficult to acquire.
