Meteorite specimen with native silver on calcite from Bou Azzer, Morocco, weighing 39 g, 60 mm high and 30 mm wide.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This specimen represents an exceptionally attractive example of native silver on calcite from the legendary locality Bou Azzer, Morocco, which is world-renowned among collectors for its aesthetic and high-quality silver mineralizations.
On a snow-white, massive calcite matrix, rich dendritic and wire-like aggregates of silver are beautifully developed, displaying a strong metallic luster. In places, the silver forms delicate, almost lace-like structures that contrast strikingly with the calm, light-colored matrix, giving the specimen remarkable visual depth. The overall composition is natural, dynamic, and highly photogenic.
The specimen is aesthetically balanced from all sides, with clearly visible paragenesis and a strong “wow effect,” making it ideal both for a high-end mineral collection and as a stand-alone decorative display piece. The Bou Azzer locality is also highly regarded for its historical and collector significance, further enhancing the long-term value of this specimen.
