Silver & Safflorite (M174)
460 gramm of native silver in combination with safflorite. The mine was productive from 1917 to 1931, re-opened in 1983, but closed again after only a few years. The safflorite (gray/metallic) has overgrown and replaced dendritic silver. Both is very rare: Safflorite and this replacement, also the locality is more uncommon, size and weight are impressive, too.
