Item Description
This sculptural thumbnail cluster of lustrous, metallic acanthite crystals has striking skeletal features and very unusual secondary overgrowths giving the piece a nifty nubby/melted-look. A showy, highly representative specimen from this locale with 360-degree visual appeal. Ex Dr. William Borden Collection. Valued at $300.
