Item Description

An impressive 1.5 cm-thick, herringbone silver blanket and fabulous fern-like fronds of beautifully burnished, dendritic, spinel-twinned, silver crystals dramatically and densely cover both sides of the massive chunk of native arsenic on this amazing and artistic combination specimen from the famous Pohla Mine. The massive quartz base and brecciated quartz fragments add much character. This is an ultimately gorgeous and superb combination specimen. THIS IS A LARGE, RICH SPECIMEN: Very hefty and rich "ore" at 515 grams or 1.1 pounds. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175, for free. Valued at $3000-4000 and certainly worth it.
