Lot of 8 ore specimens from the Union Mine, Comstock Lode, Virginia City, NV. Part of the North End Mines of the Comstock Lode, the Union was staked in 1859, adjacent to the Mexican and Sierra Nevada Mines. Though the Union Mine was one of the deepest workings (at 3350 ft.), it was one of the least profitable of the Comstock and by the late 1870s it was no longer in production. Samples within this lot range from 1 to 3 inches in diameter and consist of argentite, visible gold, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite within quartz and calcite.
