This specimen comes from material acquired from the Thomas M. Kohnen collection, an older Colorado collection containing numerous specimens collected and acquired during the latter 20th century.

I\'d definitely keep that original handwritten label with it—the label/provenance adds quite a bit more character to this one than selling it simply as “Telluride silver.”
