Item Description
Beautifully burnished, curved and curled, silver wires are very aesthetically perched on matrix of metallic-bright acanthite and quartz from a NEW find at the Hongda Mine of China. This piece bears strong resemblance to classic Kongsberg wire silvers and would be much more expensive, if from there. Valued at $400
