Item Description
A wonderful and aesthetic miniature silver wire specimen from recent finds at the Hongda Mine of China. This cutie reminds me of a fantastical tree from a Dr. Seuss children"s book with curved trunks and knots of foliage! It looks great from either side. This mine has produced some amazing silver and acanthite specimens over the last few years, and even the smaller pieces like this one are striking. This piece would make a great addition to a miniature suite, a collection of native element miniatures, or just a group of silvers or Chinese minerals.
