Item Description

A super-dense, elongated nest of straight, curled and curved spinel-twinned silver crystals from the 1980s finds at Batopilas. This piece has fine variable patina, including much gorgeous iridescence! Some sections of the piece are dramatic herringbone-patterned spinels. A bit of enclosing calcite is a nice accent. A sculptural 360-degree piece. Every turn presents a strikingly different perspective!
