Abstract
The mineral specimen comes from the Smuggler Mine, located in the Aspen mining district, Pitkin County, Colorado. The Smuggler was a silver mine located in about 1879. It produced the world's largest silver nugget in 1894, weighing even more than the world-record setting silver nugget discovered nearby a year earlier.
