Item Description

Mineral specimens from this old silver mine, known before 1820 (MINDAT), are RARE. Two, sculptural, elongated, dense nests of curled and curved silver wires with an acanthite coating course across the quartz matrix on this very fine and rich old silver ore rarity from an East Coast collection. The faded old label is probably over 100 years old
