Item Description

A really attractive miniature sized piece consisting of hundreds multi-crystallized "herringbone" style wires creating a semi "birds"-nest group native Silver from the famous Endeavor Mine in Australia. The piece has excellent form and really looks interesting under magnification. A great overall piece of this well known, beloved material. We found a few spots of an unknown bluish metallic mineral, possibly Bornite or Chalcocite? The piece is a bit fragile so it must be handled carefully. Valued at $950.
