Spinel-twinned Silver (excellent) Gene Wright Coll.

Item Description

These specimens are some of the most easily recognizable, dramatic and highly sought after silver specimens from the Western Hemisphere. This stunner of a thumbnail specimen is an outstanding example of this specific type of silver consisting of bright, iridescent, sharp, spinel-twinned, "Herringbone"-style silver crystals forming a "fan" or "sail"-shaped display specimen. These classic "sails" are part of what makes Batopilas such a great locality. They are immediately distinguished from all other silver specimens around the world. This is a top shelf quality, highly attractive and classic thumbnail from this important Mexican locality, circa 1970s. Ex Gene Wright Collection.. A MAJOR THUMBNAIL EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIC MATERIAL!
