Summary

Description
English: Silver
Locality: Porco, Agua de Castilla, Antonio Quijarro Province, Potosí Department, Bolivia (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 1.9 x 1.2 x 0.7 cm.
This piece really catches one’s attention. Typically the Silver specimens from Bolivia are somewhat "flat" and boring, but this piece is amazingly aesthetic for a Bolivian Silver. It is a fine, decent-sized (for this mine) group of wires forming a very attractive specimen. This is a great thumbnail specimen from a classic Bolivian locality. The mine at Porco is THE oldest and most significant Silver mine in Bolivia, and obtaining specimens is next to impossible because miners rarely bring out anything for sale, as the mine is a large commercial production, and virtually everything goes into the crusher. Most everything that evades the crusher is usually taken out of Bolivia by a geologist who has an "in" at the mine. This is why it is so difficult to obtain any good Silvers from Porco. Ex. Brian Kosnar Collection.
