Item Description

Striking and artistic dendrites of bright spinel-twinned silver crystals and silver globules are dramatically visible on both sides of the sawed and lightly buffed sculptural mostly dolomite matrix. Rich silver ore. Specimens of this richness and sculptural quality are rare from this less well-known old extinct New Mexico silver mine. Mass is 30 grams. Classic and very seldom available material from the collection of New Mexico specialist Chris Cowan.
