Acanthite (2005 find)

Item Description

This amazingly sculptural piece is comprised totally of clusters of dark gray, stacked, octahedrons (or rather, pseudo-octahedral acanthite crystals) from the finds at the well-known Imiter Mine in 2005. This stacked appearance is reminiscent of Asian "pagodas" or herringbone patterns. The muted metallic luster, and sculptural quality really make for an aesthetic 360-degree specimen. Definitely a superior quality acanthite in this size range. Valued at $1000. Superb, 3-D and better in person with multiple display views! You don't see many on the market anymore.
