Item Description

Silver wire specimens are uncommom from Fresnillo, compared to the superb sulfosalt specimens, such as acanthite, polybasite, pyrargyrite and stephanite. The top of this showy and rich two-sided piece is covered with curled, curved and straight silver wires with a nice patina on calcite. Excellent and rare combination material from the Dave Stoudt Mexico Collection # 979.
