A killer old Kongsberg piece from the Dr. Gary Hansen collection, complete with very old labels. Fine CRYSTALS of silver from Kongsberg, such as these, are of course even more rare than the fine wire silvers from this locality. The larger of the two branches protruding dramatically from the matrix is 2.3 cm in height (the actual WELL-FORMED crystal at the end of this branch is about 1.4 x 1.2 cm). It is for both intrinsic quality and historic pedigree an extremely desirable specimen. Ex. Dr. Gary Hansen collection and not dealer stock - regardless, not shown since early 1980s. 7.5 x 5.1 x 2.8 cm
