Item Description
An impressive, large, tapered, prismatic pyrargyrite crystal from this historic locale. The sculptural, sharp, rounded crystal has bright silver-metallic luster and the two sidecar crystals add much pizzazz. You can see hints of wine-red "ruby silver" color under bright light. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only trivial bruising, which has very minimal impact to this very fine and important silver sulfosalt. The faded Krantz label dates to the early 1900s. Ex Matioli Collection. Valued at $1250-1500. Seldom on the market in this size and quality.
