Description

Easily the very best Saxon silver specimen I ever offered on e-rocks. My personal highlight of this auction. The specimen had a very special place in our collection for many years. The dendritic silver crystals are just great and spread all over this beautiful, three-dimensional specimen - even bent around the corners. And there's even a little iridescent löllingite (visual ID) on one corner.
