Item Description
A showy, very rich nest of bright, beautifully burnished spinel-twinned and hackly silver crystals from the famous finds at Batopilas in the late 1960s. This excellent piece shows well from all sides and the white calcite and matrix are nice accents. This is a very thick specimen from Batopilas, as most specimens were etched from thin calcite veins. Valued $750. Ex Jaime Bird Collection. 77 grams.
