A fine cabinet specimen composed of a near-rectangular block of Native Arsenic with all faces encrusted with delicately crystallised Native Silver. From the Pöhla-Tellerhäuser mine in the Schwarzenberg District of Saxony, Germany, the Arsenic form a dark grey solid block of up to 2.5 cm thick, the majority of which is obscured by dense areas and branching fronds of silver-white Native Silver. The fronds form branching and reticulated patterns and appear to coat the Native Arsenic but not penetrate it, indicating a later stage deposition. A fine example of Native Silver on Arsenic which looks even more spectacular under low magnification.\n
