Item Description
Crystallized silver specimens of this quality are uncommon from the famous mines at Sombrerete, as most are hackly sheets. Stacked, lustrous, silver-metallic modified, flattened, crystals form an aesthetic diverging arborescent thumbnail. The multitude of hoppered/skeletal features and few attached calcite crystals really add pizzazz to this fine two-sided piece. Rare silver in this sharpness and form.
