A stupendous piece of high grade from one of the original mines at Cobalt. The vein was originally found in wilderness but the mine ended up being right in the Town of Cobalt after the rush was finished and the mines established. The Coniagas Mine had a unique name, indicating the elemens making up its ores = CoNiAgAs = Cobalt, Nickel, Silver, Arsenic. There is very little arsenides with the silver in this carbonate vein matrix, just thick, dendritic silver. The specimen is sawn on one side and rough on the other. The rough side has globs and points of silver poking out all over. Super rich!
