High-grade silver ore from the Candelaria Mine, Candelaria, Mineral County, Nevada. Massive white quartz specimen riddled with silvery-grey mineralization, possibly argentite -- a silver sulfide. Original collector also identified dark anglesite -- a lead sulfate. The Candelaria Mine originally produced from silver vein deposits as early as the mid-1860s. A larger mining operation opened in 1`980 but was forced to close in 1982 by low silver prices. A buyout and higher prices saw the mine re-open in 1983 as an open-pit operation until the late 1990s. Silver Standard now owns the property and has it in care and maintenance status until silver prices improve.
