Item Description
The famous mines at Chanarcillo, Chile produced a rich array of beautiful silver-related species. This adorable, rabbit ears-shaped cluster of elongated, spinel-twinned silver crystal is a classic Chanarcillo habit. The "tail" and tiny barbs add character to this very cute floater. Undoubtably century-old material, but no proof. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. A classic and excellent thumbnail.
