This 2 1.5 x 1.25 specimen features beautiful galena figuring and native silver throughout a large argentite sample. This sample was mined in Creede Colorado. The original townsite of Creede was located on East Willow Creek just above its junction with West Willow Creek. Below Creede were Stringtown, Jimtown, and Amethyst. The Willow Creek site was soon renamed Creede after Nicholas C. Creede who discovered the Holy Moses Mine. Soon the entire town area from East Willow to Amethyst was called Creede.Maish Collection HKA#62308
