Acanthite (old classic) Harvard & Belsky Coll.

Item Description

Sharp, lustrous, metallic-gray crystals to 8 mm richly and aesthetically line the crest of the quartz-rich matrix wedge on this sculptural small cabinet. This is a remarkable and rich, old-time acanthite specimen from the historic Freiberg District. The cuboctahedral crystal form is typical for this most classic locale. Certainly 100 years old or older. Acanthites of this quality and richness are not that common and are seldom on the market. Ex Harvard and Belsky Collections. The numbers match. Valued $2000.
