Very sharp, arborescent silver crystals form these old mines! Most such specimens date to the early 1900s, or late 1800s, although of course small pockets were found later in the mines and the dumps and there is no way to be sure without old labels. This is, regardless,a classic old style and a fine miniature for the price of American native silver crystals. They are thick, too, not flimsy at all!

A SHARP and unusually thick, large example of this replacement for which Pribram is probably the single most famous locale in the world. The silver has completely replaced the earlier dyscrasite, including a fat, doubly-terminated, 3-cm-long crystal in the center of this nicely-trimmed specimen! OLD MATERIAL from the personal colelction of Pribram specialist Josef Vajdak, with his personal collection label (i.e. not his dealer stock)

This majestic large silver specimen is both elegant in form for the collector and significant for its size and impact. Wires of this thickness and size are very rare survivors of the heyday of these famous silver mines, quite visually distinct from recent material that came out around 2000-2002 from a modern find in the old tunnels of the linked mines of this district. It was found in the 1800s and was in the Bally Museum in Switzerland by the early 1900s. With the dissolution of that museum, it then went into a major private collection and has not been for public sale until now. This piece has style, not just size. It has such grace and presence, that the pictures simply do not convey it. The photos make it look spindly, when in person it conveys a much more robust feel. This is far beyond what you could normally expect to find on the market at any price (and yet, I think it is priced reasonably here, in all honesty) - a major piece, worthy of a top institution or collection.
