Item Description

A beautifully aesthetic curved and twisted silver wire projects upward from the scuptural matrix on this showy and excellent specimen from the famous Uchucchacua Mine of Peru. The wire and matrix are very nicely accented by pods of earthy acanthite with matrix. Fairly common around 10 years ago, these are now only available in recycled collections. Eminently displayable from either side. Ex Wes Parker Collection.
