Description

Outstanding combination classic German specimen consisting of a grouping of thick wire silver, this mostly coated with small metallic acanthite crystals. This is a very unusual antique silver specimen on calcite with a coating of acanthite on the silver wires. Many of the attractive, curving wires are over 10mm in length, and their sinuous form as they twist and turn above the matrix is quite aesthetic. Little calcites add accent. Comes with two old written labels.
