Typically the Silver specimens from Bolivia are somewhat "flat" and boring, but this piece is quite aesthetic. It is a fine, good sized group of wires forming a very attractive specimen. This is a fine small cabinet specimen from a classic Bolivian locality. The mine at Porco is the oldest and most significant Silver mine in Bolivia, and obtaining specimens is next to impossible because miners rarely bring out anything for sale, as the mine is a large commercial production, and virtually everything goes into the crusher. Most everything that evades the crusher is usually taken out of Bolivia by a geologist who has an "in" at the mine.
