Wire Silver

Item Description

The Wire Silver specimens from the Beaverdell area (namely the Highland Bell Mine) in British Columbia are incredibly beautiful, and notably difficult to find on the market. The best specimens are every bit as attractive and charming as those from old classic localities like Kongsberg, Norway or Freiberg, Germany or even contemporary material from Peru or China. This little thumbnail is a nice representation of these hard to find Silvers as it features a distinct "ram's horn" curled wire sitting atop additional Silver matrix. The overall form of the piece is really eye-catching, and this piece would make a great addition to any thumbnail suite, a native element collection or a collection of Canadian minerals.
