{"product_id":"stromeyerite-mountain-boy-mine-stewart-british-columbia-canada","title":"Stromeyerite - Mountain Boy Mine, Stewart, British Columbia, Canada","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough it has a rather simple chemical formula, \u003cstrong\u003estromeyerite (AgCuS)\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a relatively rare silver-copper sulfide. We have a rich, Canadian example from the \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Boy Mine near Stewart, British Columbia\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMountain Boy is located in BC's \u003cstrong\u003e\"Golden Triangle\"\u003c\/strong\u003e which hosts multiple precious metals mines and prospects. The area also famous for its rugged, untamed forests and mountain eco-systems which have restricted access and development. Our stromeyerite was provided to us by western Canadian mineral expert \u003cstrong\u003eAllan Ingelson\u003c\/strong\u003e and is mostly massive sulphides with no crystallizations. The piece, however, is very rich and correspondingly heavy for its size. There is a small amount of malachite on the specimen as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStromeyerite is an uncommon silver-bearing mineral that is particularly interesting to collectors of sulfides and silver-copper mineral associations. The combination of an unusual mineral species, a historic British Columbia mining locality and Allan Ingelson collection provenance makes this a worthwhile addition to a Canadian or systematic mineral collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinerals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stromeyerite (AgCuS)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mountain Boy Mine, Stewart, British Columbia, Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orthorhombic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMineral Class:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sulfide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex Allan Ingelson collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 × 8 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rocky Mountain Minerals and Fossils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53433053446426,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6011\/1386\/files\/stromeyerite-mountain-boy-mine-stewart-british-columbia-canada_02.jpg?v=1794449760","url":"https:\/\/keithrocks.ca\/products\/stromeyerite-mountain-boy-mine-stewart-british-columbia-canada","provider":"Rocky Mountain Minerals and Fossils","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
