Spinel-twinned Silver & Arsenic

Item Description

Dense clusters of striking herringbone-patterned spinel-twinned silver crystals with a super patina richly cover both sides and top of the very rich, sculptural and hefty brecciated combination ore matrix. The filagree-like dentritic patterns on the front and top are remarkable, with the silver crystals on the back side being much smaller. The matrix includes massive dark gray, matte native arsenic and two striking brecciated matrix fragments. Classic, showy and rich combination silver-arsenic ore from this famous silver producing district.
