Spinel-twinned Silver (classic locale)

Item Description

Classic and aesthetic spinel-twinned silver from Batopilas. This elegant "feather" is composed of tightly intergrown spinel-twins in both striking herringbone patterns and as stacked crystals. The single isolated crystal at the crest is the coup de grace and the bit of attached calcite is a typical and classic accessory. The gorgeous variable iridescent patina is mesmerizing! An exceptional two-sided thumbnail example of the species and famed locality.
