Item Description

A very sculptural and rare acanthite and polybasite combination miniature from the famous mines at Fresnillo. A fantastically scuptural stacked parallel-growth cluster of very vuggy, intergrown strikingly "melted-look", lustrous metallic-gray acanthite crystals is capped by a bird's head shaped crystal with a large beak! A RARE 1.5 cm, coated, crudely pseudo-hexagonal polybasite disk is aesthetically attached to the piece on one end of the base. A very artistic and rare 360-degree combination miniature from Fresnillo.
