Item Description

An old-time, very showy specimen from the famous mines at Pribram. Lustrous, sharp, battleship-gray, acanthite crystals to 9 mm are very aesthetically set in a vein of crystallized quartz. The large acanthite is beautifully set on a bridge of smaller acanthites. The base has been sawed to enhance the display quality, which shows well without aid. Classic combination material from this historic locale. Ex Richard Hauck Collection.
