Sphalerite and Acanthite on NATIVE Silver

Unknown Owner
Intergrown Silver wires coated with sparkling microcrystals of Sphalerite and Acanthite. The complete length of wires is 35mm, and they form a delicate and lustrous display. The coating of Sphalerite and Acanthite almost covers all the Silver wire, but in places Native Silver is still visible. A beautiful, detailed and graceful miniature display specimen.
