Yes - the Samson mine....but no Samsonite, I do't think anyhow. The old Scott Williams labels says there is also Pyrargyrite and Argentite. Maybe this is true, but the Pyrostilpnite is positive. You can see the ponted, acicualr deep red crystals. There are actually three in this group. It's a little specimen!
