Item Description
A very aesthetic and rare silver combination from the historic mines at Kongsberg. A very artistic, 2.0 cm, tapered, curved silver wire with a nice patina is elegantly set at the top of upright miniature. A nifty vug near the base holds a rare for the locale, 7 mm, very glassy, partially etched, light purple fluorite cube. The matrix is composed of acanthite, quartz, calcite rhombs and fluorite sections. The fluorite fluoresces purple and the calcite pink. A fine and rare combination valued by the former dealer at $795.
