Silver w/ Acanthite (old classic)

Item Description

A fantastically sculptural, super sharp and sculptural miniature of spinel-twinned silver crystals with acanthite from Batopilas. This adorable cutie is old-time, seldom available material dating to the 1880-1920s mining period. The dramatic spinel-twinned "tree" with "leaves" of smaller spinels and acanthites plus the gorgeous variable iridescent patina make for a superb old-timer silver from this famous silver district. Valued at $300-400.
