SOLD
A fascinating looking wire silver and acanthite specimen from a new find at the Hongda Mine of China. A very fat, 2.5 cm long, beautifully burnished silver wire looks just like a horse's head and neck or a bird's head atop the thick nest of curved and curled silver wires. Massive acanthite is contacted onto the back of the silver.
