Item Description

An exquisite Batopilas matrix silver thumbnail from the Ernie Schlichter Thumbnail Collection. The striking and beautiful large cluster of intergrown spinel-twins looks like two pennants on a flag pole flying in a stiff breeze. The high luster, patina, dense fretwork of smaller crystals, bit of associated calcite and positioning of the spinels on the matrix make for a superb thumbnail. Valued at $750.
