An aesthetic cockscomb of spinel-twinned silver wires jauntily projecting upward from milky quartz matrix. This showy specimen is from Fresnillo Mexico and comes with an older label. The bit of quartz perched on a silver wire is a neat accent. Spinel-twinned silver from Fresnillo is not that common and this is a good one. Ex. George Elling Collection.
