Description

A superb, super rich and fat specimen loaded with thick nests of spinel-twinned silver crystals from the early 1980s finds at the New Nevada Mine at Batopilas, Mexico.

Most silvers from this find were in very thin calcite veins, so this one is exceptional in its thickness.

Fantastic specimen from Armin Wendland collection.
