Item Description
The photos say it all. Beautifully iridescent spinel-twinned silver crystals, as a dense herringbone nest on one side or as delicate filagrees on the other side, cover the sculptural calcite cleavage with bit of accenting matrix on this showy and highly representative miniature from the famous 1980s finds at Batopilas.
