An excellent, crystallized, arborescent silver thumbnail from Cobalt, Canada. Crystallized silver is not that common from Cobalt. 2.6 x 1.9 x 1.2 cm
An elegant thumber of crystallized silver from Batopilas, show clearly why these specimens have become classics amongstworldwide silver specimens. 2.7 x 1.2 x .2 cm
Two sides of the dark, contrasting matrix rock are covered with intricate, filigree-like crystalline silver characteristic of the classic Pohla locality. It is really cool to look closely at the amazing detail on these classic German silvers. 4.7 x 3.2 x 1.9cm
A sheet of native silver, still embedded in the shimmering, irridescent matrix of bornite! You can see the silver vein running through the bornite around the edge of the matrix, and the bornite has been trimmed away to expose the silver for about half the overall size of the specimen. 4.8 x 3.1 x 2.4cm
A showy and excellent old-time specimen from Michigans Copper Country of sharp, euhedral silver crystals perched on well-defined copper crystals in a vein with several lustrous copper-in-calcite crystals to 1.5 cm. The silver and copper crystals look like vertebrae. The quartz-rich matrix adds nice contrast. The piece comes with a 1941 Wards label. The back of the specimen has been partially reinforced with glue, but not repaired. This is a very fine combination piece. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 5.6 x 4.5 x 4.0 cm
A very rich, old-time ore specimen of oxidized, platty silver on matrix from a classic Czech locality. The piece comes with a yellowed Schortmanns label. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 8.2 x 3.8 x 3.6 cm
GORGEOUS nests of tangled silver wires in a very nicely contrasting quartz-lined vug on matrix from the famous Uchucchacua Mine of Peru. Very little silver has been recently found there. 5.2 x 5.0 x 2.8 cm
An EXTREMELY RICH and SHOWY, classic, old-time specimen of vein silver in massive arsenic from the Erzgebirge of Germany. Silver veins, up to 1.2 cm thick!, are filled with tiny, lustrous, dendritic, spinel-twinned silver crystals. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. This rich ore specimen weighs over 1 and 1/2 pounds or 694 grams! Talk about heft! 9.9 x 6.5 x 5.8 cm
WOW! Silver CRYSTALS to over 1 cm are here perched in a protected cavity of a HUGE, if somewhat lumpy and rounded, copper crystal! The association is really pretty impressive, and it is much better in person. The bright contrast makes it stand out from most silver/copper combos and there is no intermixing of the two elements as is more common. 6.9 x 4.6 x 3.1 cm
7.5 x 1.7 x 0.4 cm. A beautifully scuptural and aesthetic, curved and twisted, composite silver wire from recent finds in China. The burnished, curves, twists and plaited look to this stout silver are very elegant and entrancing.
Exquisite rope silver from a find in China that turns out to be 2 years old...they are only trickling out now, after having been used by the locals for jewelry and art projects for 2 years, I am told! This one is particularly elegant, I thought. These are NOT as fragile as they look, and are actually quite sturdy, along the robustness of a Kongsberg wire in person. 6.8 x 2.8 x 1 cm
An showy fan of lustrous, spinel-twinned, herringbone-patterned silver crystals from the famous New Nevada Mine at Batopilas, Mexico. 3.8 x 1.6 x 0.3 cm
A sheet of natural silver still embedded in a matrix of irisdescent bornite -- exposed at one end of the specimen (that is the silver sheet sticking up at the back side of the photo), and you can see the thin line running around the entire edge of the bornite which marks where the silver vein runs through it, completely dissecting it. Cool! 4.6 x 3.2 x 3.1cm
A VERY RICH and showy, sliced and lacquer-sprayed ore specimen of dendritic silver in quartz from Cobalt, Ontario. Ex Marty Lewadny Collection. 7.6 x 3.0 x 0.9 cm
A sheet of native silver, bisecting a chunk of irisdescent bornite (prettier in person). In the pics, you can see the sheet of plate silver sticking out of the sides of the bornite. 5.3 x 3.5 x 3.3cm
