Native Silver with Native Arsenic and Proustite Vater Abraham Mine, Lauta, Marienberg District, Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany 12.1cm x 7.6cm x 4.6cm Ex. J. Hoppner Collection No. 13014

Description/Interesting Notes: A large, rich, and aesthetic old time example of finely crystallized native silver from Germany!!! This specimen hosts a very rich showing of fine, dendritic crystals of native silver in association with darkly colored native arsenic and accented by a few complex proustite crystals scattered about the specimen!!! Both sides of the specimen show off the broad display of undamaged silver crystals and, in some areas - despite the fact that the network of silver crystals is quite thick, one can actually see light from the other side!!! While these specimens of dendritic silver may be superficially similiar to those from Pohla, these Marienberg specimens are much older and far less common!!! This is a particularly fine old time Marienberg silver - in person this specimen is absolutely gorgeous!!! This specimen retains an old German label from the Hoppner collection and has a corresponding affixed catalogue number as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Don't miss out on this valuable old time beauty!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
