SUPERB, very RARE and lustrous cubic silver crystals to 3 mm nearly cover the matrix of this Batopilas, Mexico silver specimen. Cubic silver crystals are rare from any mine and are nearly unheard of from Batopilas. This is festooned with them. This is thus a UNIQUE specimen from the Al Buranek Collection. with label. You can see form the label that it was originally described AS a Michigan silver BECAUSE of the cubes, which you wouldnt associated with Batopilas normally. Well, it got corrected, and I have confirmed the correction as well, and its worth a lot more now than if it were just from Michigan. Silvers of cubic form are the rarest sort, and this is so rich, and so pretty, and its so rare in cubes for the locality, that the piece has significance beyond its beauty. 5.2 x 5.0 x 3.5 cm
