Tama Higuchi collection #315
Excellent and highly aesthetic thumbnail of native silver in the wire form. These kinds of aesthetics are seen in larger specimens but almost never in thumbnails. This one has a beautiful warm, almost brassy patina. This specimen has been checked with a loupe for any tweezer marks, and none were found: the delightful curves of the terminations are all natural.
