Morocco, Silver, Bouismas Mine, Bouismas, Bou Azer District, Ouarzazate Province
I have listed these specimens under "Silver" as opposed to dyscrasite or allargentum, as other sources have classified them. The silvery, metallic mineral has silver crystal structure/habit in these specimens and I have had them analysed as silver with a couple of percent of mercury. The calcite has been partially etched away to reveal the dendrites. They are GREAT specimens of SILVER!
