This silver, with very minor crystals of corroded acanthite fixed within, exhibits wonderful sculptural aesthetics. It is primarily comprised of short, thick wires and lots of open space to enhance the elegance of the projecting fat wires. It also shows off a muted metallic luster. I THINK these are actually casts, as if acanthite once constrained the silver growth but was then dissolved away, leaving impressions in the silver.
