Item Description
A wonderful and fine quality small cabinet sized Native Silver specimen from the classic locality at Batopilas. This piece is loaded with excellent, sharp, "Herringbone"-style crystals with a beautiful patina forming "fan" or "sail" shapes, associated with off-white colored Calcite (which has been partially etched away to expose more of the underlying Silver) on matrix. The wonderful form of the Silver crystals is part of what makes Batopilas such a great locality, as you almost never see this type of crystallized Silver from anywhere else. They are immediately distinguished from all other Silver specimens around the world. Overall, this is a highly attractive classic Silver specimen from this important Mexican locality.
From the collection of David & Emily Stoudt
