Description/Interesting Notes:
An outstanding example of native silver from Peru!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of brilliant native silver, present as thick, hefty wires aesthetically
rising from the pinkish colored matrix!!! There is a dramatic "rope" of native silver that measures over 4cm and tall in association
with numerous other significant wires jutting from the matrix!!! The native silver wires exhibit gracefully curving forms with
pronounced linear striations!!! The native silver shows brilliant, silver metallic luster with a handsome "antiqued" patina and
scattered iridescent highlights!!! One of the native silver wires holds a blocky mass of calcite aloft as well!!! The matrix
has a handsome pink hue, possibly the result of some massive rhodochrosite!!! There are a significant amount of substantial silver
wires still included within the matrix that could likely be further exposed if so desired!!! There is also a small amount of
golden pyrite in association as well!!! Don't miss out on this aesthetic and valuable specimen!!! Simply gorgeous
in person!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 14th!!!
