Item Description
Variably burnished, spinel-twinned silver crystals form an exquisite, two-sided, flattened miniature from the famous early 1980s finds at Batopilas. The highlights are the striking variable patina, elongated spinel-twins and the nifty cluster of herringbone twins. The etched enclosing calcite is visible in the interior. Aesthetic and choice material from the find.
