A fascinating looking wire silver and acanthite specimen from a new find at the Hongda Mine of China. This piece looks biomorphic or insect-like. The "body" and "tail" are a combination of silver and acanthite. The "head" and "legs" are thin to very stout, silver wires with a nice patina. The silver wire "legs" are aesthetic and dramatic. This piece bears strong resemblance to classic Kongsberg wire silvers.
