Ruby silver! The Beaverdell area, and in particular, the Highland Bell Mine, were rich in silver and silver-bearing minerals. Ruby silver, more properly, pyraryrite, was a key source of silver from the district. This terrific ore specimen displays zonation of massive pyrargyrite (slight reddish colour), galena and sphalerite within calcite speckled with pyrite. A large representative specimen (the largest of several in inventory) from a classic Canadian mining locality. Ex Garry Kolodinsky. From: Beaverdell, Greenwood Mining District, BC, Canada.
