Description

This is a stunning miniature, covered with countless well developed and sharp crystals of native Silver and it was almost a desaster, to produce good pictures.  Said in more detail, a fine, very rich nest of bright, beautifully burnished spinel-twinned and hackly Silver crystals from the famous finds at Batopilas in the late 1960s and way better in person.. This excellent piece shows well from all sides and the white Quartz and the bright matrix are nice accents. This is a very good specimen from Batopilas and, because its excellent crystals, not easy to come by nowadays.
