Abstract
Two silver ore specimens in the mineralogical collection of the Senckenberg Natural History Collections Dresden, Museum of Mineralogy and Geology, are samples from one of the most spectacular silver finds in Saxon Erzgebirge. The history of the find and of the two silver ore specimens is discussed. The origin of such a rich deposit of silver ore is examined in relationship to the geology of mineral deposits.
