Item Description

An aesthetic and very sculptural, arborescent native silver specimen composed of spinel-twinned crystals from the famous Copper Country of Michigan. Some of the crystals are highly lustrous, while others have a more muted silvery-copper patina. The branching form of this piece is exceptional and the specimen looks great from either side. Classic, superb, old-time silver from the George Elling Collection. Valued at $400-500.
