Item Description

Two, sharp, silver crystals to 1.3 cm are aesthetically attached to the side of a rich sculptural silver with copper specimen from the famed Kearsarge Mine. The lustrous silver has a nice variable patina and the blocky, euhedral copper crystal at one end is a super accent. Quartz and matrix is also embedded on the piece. Crystallized silver with copper, in this richness and quality is very uncommon from Copper Country and this is a very fine, old piece. This 360-degree piece has many fine display views. This piece was formerly in the collection of Steve Sinotte and his wife, the glass artist, Rebecca Stewart. Valued at $800-1000.
