Item Description

An elegant and sculptural combination miniature from this famous mine and the Art Soregaroli Collection. Splendent, sharp, metallic-gray, acanthite crystals encrust the aesthetic swirled cluster of curved and curled silver wired with nifty, variable patina. The striking crown of the piece hosts the isolated silver wires, which are tipped with the largest, jewel-like, acanthite crystals. This is an outstanding, 360-degree combination of the species and locale. Valued at $500-650.
