Acanthite

Locality: O'Brien Mine, Coleman Township, Cobalt area, Cobalt-Gowganda region, Timiskaming District, Ontario, Canada

For the Cobalt mining camp, these are relatively well formed cube-octahedra formed in calcite and exposed by acid etching. The top crystal is 10mm across. Technically, these crystals are a parallel growth and so are really one large crystal! Specimen is 3.1x2,3x2.2cm D.K.Joyce collection.
