Item Description
A GORGEOUS and thick nest of brightly burnished silver wires to 2.7 cm very aesthetically set in a 3-dimensional vuggy matrix of solid acanthite from a recent find at the Imiter Mine of Morocco. The silver wires are a marvel to behold and this super piece definitely has two displayable views. As you can see, the former dealer label has a $2350 price - retail when these first came to market a few years ago. Luckily I bought this as a liquidation lot and paid less, but I still paid about 1/3 that price myself or I couldnt afford to auction this stuff from time to time, and its worth somewhere in between I think you would have to agree.
