Crown of Silver Psilomelane Bargain Cabochon Very rare-very hard to get-and very expensive! This is a nice cabochon of Psilomelane-AKA Crown of Silver Psilomelane from the Silver Crown Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico. The mine was opened in 1940 for the war effort and was closed in 1947. In the 1950s the mine was reportedly worked by old Mexican miners forthe lapidary market before it became unsafe to enter the mine. It was rediscovered again in 2003, but I understand it was forced to be closed from too many cave ins. This wonderful stone (pronounced si-lah'-mi-lane) is a type of manganese ore. Crown of Silver Psilomelane is manganese oxide in cryptocrystalline quartz. It is a shiny metallic black with silver banding and swirls, hence the name. The custom cut cabochon is 41 mm long by 9 mm wide at the top and 17.5 mm at its widest and 3.5 mm thick. The first picture is taken with a flash.
