Silver crystals on a Safflorite matrix that have been exposed from white Calcite. Cubic Silver crystals are uncommon and these are superbly formed, sharp cubes of about 2mm in size. The crystals, as well as branching groups of Silver, are well distributed across the specimen. These were a surprise find at Tucson a few years ago and have dissappeared.
