Porco, Agua de Castilla, Antonio Quijarro Province, Potosí Department, Bolivia

3.1 x 1.7 x 1.1 cm. The mine at Porco is the oldest and most significant silver mine in Bolivia, and Pyrargyrite is not common in fine quality specimens from this mine but recently some decent specimens have made their way out.

Pyrargyrite : Ag3SbS3

Colquechaca (Aullagas), Chayanta Province, Potosí Department, Bolivia

3.2 x 2.7 x 2.1 cm. This is an excellent example of translucent gem-red pyrargyrite from one of the more rare and hard to get locales, in an old silver-mining district of Bolivia. Note: A Bolivian pyrargyrite is much more uncommon and likely to be older as well, than seemingly similar material from Mexico. These specimens turn up only rarely and ...

Pyrargyrite : Ag3SbS3, Galena : PbS

Silver tunnel, Van Silver Mine, Van Silver Property, Brandywine Creek, Vancouver Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada

A superb, 2.3 mm transparent Pyrargyrite crystal. Perched on the crystal are a number of tiny Galena crystals. This specimen poses an interesting illustration when trying to sort out the paragenesis of the deposit. Did the crystallization of the Galena occur before, after, or simultaneously with the Pyrargyrite? One might surmise that the ...
