Silver (classic material) (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

These specimens are some of the most easily recognizable, dramatic and highly sought after Silver specimens from the Western Hemisphere. This piece is an AMAZINGLY aesthetic Batopilas Silver specimen. It is simply as sculptural of a specimen as I have seen from the locality. It is a very showy, three-dimensional display piece comprising branching "arms" of bright, sharp, Spinel-law twinned, "Herringbone"-style Silver crystals on Calcite matrix. This beauty has so much more character than the majority of the Batopilas Silver specimens that I have encountered, as the crystals appear to be suspended in mid-air and almost floating above the matrix. Overall, this is a top shelf quality, highly attractive classic Silver specimen from this important Mexican locality. Valued at $3900 retail.
