Item Description
Pohla Silvers are known for their extremely photogenic, fern-like crystals that are found growing on, or embedded in, a matrix of Silver and Arsenic ore. These can grow as individuals, as you see here to over a full centimeter, or as densely packed crystals. Presenting well from several angles, their intricate beauty is enhanced by the fine metallic luster. Good quality Silvers have made Pohla famous and specimens desirous to collectors, causing them them to be hard to obtain in any decade. Even more so when you consider these treasures were concentrated in a spectacular fine around 1990/91, when they were mined by the Soviets and stashed away. Finding one of these East German classics is a bonus on any specimen hunt. Though delicate, the crystals here are aesthetic and this small cabinet is extremely rich for its size, and quite shippable. Valued $2500-5000 depending on if you buy in the USA where they tend to go out at more reasonable values, or at shows in Europe where we have seen them at higher valuations.
