A gorgeous, floral-like cluster of curled and curved silver wires from the famous Sarbai Mine of Kazakhstan. This aesthetic, two-sided specimen has multiple "caps" of cubic, black acanthite crystals and a beautiful patina, which add pizzazz. Kazakhstan silvers compare very favorably with Kongsberg and German wire silvers, but at CONSIDERABLY less cost.
