EB87T4: The Allargentum, as very well defined crystals, appears intergrown with Silver and Dyscrasite, forming dendritic growths on a Calcite matrix. The Allargentum is dominant in the analysis so, following IMA recommendations, we label the sample in this way. We'll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
Bouismas Mine, Bou Azzer area, Tazenakht, Ouarzazate  Morocco (02/2010)

Specimen size: 5.3 × 2.5 × 1.5 cm = 2.1” × 1.0” × 0.6”

EA98T4: The Allargentum, as very well defined crystals, appears intergrown with Silver and Dyscrasite, forming dendritic growths on a Calcite matrix with fibrous aggregates of Actinolite. The Allargentum is dominant in the analysis so, following IMA recommendations, we label the sample in this way. We'll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
Bouismas Mine, Bou Azzer area, Tazenakht, Ouarzazate  Morocco (02/2010)

Specimen size: 4.6 × 3.5 × 2.2 cm = 1.8” × 1.4” × 0.9”

EC98T4: The Allargentum, as very well defined crystals, appears intergrown with Silver and Dyscrasite, forming dendritic growths on a Calcite matrix with fibrous aggregates of Actinolite. The Allargentum is dominant in the analysis so, following IMA recommendations, we label the sample in this way. We'll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
