Item Description

An adorable flattened, arborescent miniature of spinel-twinned silver crystals from this well-known Cobalt mine. Sharp, tiny tetrahexahedral crystals attached to the "spine" and scattered matrix add character to this aesthetic two-sided cutie. Spinel-twins appear to be uncommon from this locale, as the MINDAT photo gallery for the Keeley-Frontier Mine shows mostly silver wires.
