Mine Every Monday - Brittle Silver Mine

What I want to introduce to you today is my dream brittle silver mine.

Brittle silver ore is a natural silver sulfur antimonite, the chemical formula is Ag5SbS4, it belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system, the crystal is short columnar or plate-like, and the crystal surface has some oblique stripes.
It is leaden-grey to black in color, and at certain angles exhibits an iridescent tinge of sky blue.

The hardness of brittle silver ore is not high, the Mohs hardness is only 2-2.5, which is probably like the chalk used by teachers in teaching, and its toughness is not high, just as his name ""brittle" silver ore" shows, it is A mineral that needs to be well protected.

Brittle silver ore is derived from silver deposits, and mostly coexists with minerals such as natural silver, pyrite, snail pyrite, and tetrahedrite. Therefore, it is also used as a marker mineral for searching for silver ore.
On earth, the brittle silver mines with good crystallization and can be used as mineral targets are mainly produced in Freiberg and Gersdorf in Saxony, Germany, and Cornwall in Chile.

The English name of the brittle silver mine is Stephanite, which is named in honor of Archduke Stephan Franz Victor, Archduke of Austria.

And about it, I have a little story.
One, a little story about how to become a soul-bound die-hard customer of this seller step by step.

Such a beautiful and rare brittle silver mine, I first slipped into an account on Xiaohongshu that introduced minerals. The iron-grey color with the iridescent violet-blue iridescent appearance immediately captured my desire to collect it.

So I sent a message and asked proj.azores, the seller who sold me Ajoite , if he could help me find this mine.

They are really strong sellers!
Brittle Silver Mine is still silver after all, and my budget is not very generous, but they still gave me a good news in less than a week.
This is the first step in soul binding.

After more than a month of waiting, the Brittle Silver Mine finally crossed the ocean and came to this small island where I am.
At this time, the seller brought another exciting good news.

It turns out that the Brittle Silver Mine had a not-so-short experience long before it came to me. In addition to being super powerful, this seller has a fascinating romance.

They packaged up the road and everything I experienced before I met the Crispy Silver Mine and sent it to me together!!

The label is written in German. After careful translation and study, I found out that this brittle silver mine was born as early as July 1971. Compared with me who was born in the same July, I have seen the world for 25 years more. .
Putting the B before July, I actually secretly hope that it means 8, so the day I came to this world coincides with the day it saw the blue sky for the first time.
Its origin is from the home base of brittle silver mines - Freiberg in Sachen, Germany.

And just like that, I got my coveted crisp silver mine, and the awesome seller proj.azores got a die-hard fan!!

Minerals are, by definition, the essence of the earth. Some spiritual theories often hold that "minerals" can interact with the human body, thereby purifying or strengthening the human energy or aura.
As a collector of minerals, my feelings for them so far have always been pure love, and there is no such wisdom root that can interact with them.

But after I received the brittle silver mine, two friends have already told me that it feels powerful and gentle.
Much like me.

As an agricultural college graduate, my education taught me that the world is made up of rules.
But as I get older, I slowly understand that the birth of this world may come from a coincidence.
And many coincidences come together, it is called fate.

I am often amazed by the fate between people, or between people and animals, but when this brittle silver mine, which is even the same age as my parents, came into my life, it also taught me that there is a relationship between people and all things. There are fates.

All are worth marvelling and then cherishing.
