Incredible Sprays of Proustite with Acanthite and Native Silver on Calcite Crystals. Himmelfurst Mine, Freiberg District, Erzgeberg, Saxony, Germany.
This classic old museum piece dates back to the 1850's and is quite simply one of the finest specimens of German Proustite on matrix. The Proustite has been well protected and still has considerable redness in the crystals. The addition of Acanthite and Native Silver wires makes the piece extraordinary. Even the matrix is composed of sharp, well formed and stacked Calcite crystals.
Measures: 8.5 x 7 cm.
Comes with a custom made, labeled stand.
Estimated Value $28,000 - 32,000.
