Lot of 9 ore specimens from the Sierra Nevada Mine. Located on the north end of the Comstock Lode, ores of the Sierra Nevada Mine were relatively enriched in copper in addition to the gold and silver that was sought for. Minerals specimens include argentite, azurite, bornite, chalcopyrite, chrysocolla, galena, polybasite, and sphalerite and range from less than 1 to 3 inches in diameter. This lot includes a specimen of massive, high-grade bonanza ore and a very intersting sample of visible native gold and chrysocolla on bornite labeled to have originated from surface outcropping of the Sierra Nevada Mine.
