A classic, old-time combination German specimen from the famous Clausthal area of the Harz Mountains. The very sculptural, 3-dimensional, mountain peak-like matrix of glassy, colorless quartz crystals is very richly covered with melted-look acanthite crystals. This specimen dates to the 1800s and comes from an old European collection, where everything dates to the 1800s.
