Item Description

Sharp, glassy, calcite rhombs crown an aesthetic and sculptural, upright specimen of a dense nest of curled and curved silver wires intermixed with striking, very nifty, skeletal/hoppered, acanthite cubes. Some of the acanthites are stacked, one atop each other and look like vertebrae! The variable patina to the silver wires adds much character. A showy and excellent Guanajuato combination miniature with 360-degree viewability. Ex Dave Stoudt Mexico Collection # 98 and valued at $500. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
