Item Description

A rarely seen crystallized specimen of Silver from the famous Alhambra Mine in Grant County, New Mexico. Were it not for the label, and the collection it came from, I would have no idea that something this good came out of the Alhambra Mine. This is a beautiful display specimen showing crystals and dendritic growths of bright metallic native Silver forming a very pleasing thumbnail. This piece is simply a very aesthetic Silver from one of this well known Silver producing mine. Good crystallized Silver is not common in the world, and even though the crystals on this piece are small, they are great for the material. Do NOT miss out on this one if you're a Silver collector, as they're rather hard to find in this quality.
