A very attractive array of excellent herring bone-fern structured Native Silver from the Pöhla-Tellerhäuser mine at Pöhla, Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany. The Native Silver has been laboratory etched from the surrounding metallic grey Native Arsenic. This is exactly the same as all similar specimens available to collectors, from the mine. This large miniature is completely encrusted with magnificent silver-grey Native Silver crystals, mainly in the habit of both symmetric and asymmetric fern-like fronds. These cover a matrix of matt, mid-grey Native Arsenic.
