SOLD
A dramatic, arborescent silver specimen from the classic finds of the 1960s and 1970s with tall, stout, thick crystals to 3.5 cm that stand straight up! THESE ARE NOT the typical thin, fragile wires, but rather they are sturdy, thick spinel-twinned crystals. This is one of the better specimens in a lot I have slowly been liquidating which comes from the estate of well-known collector Al Buranek, and it is the best I have put in auction to date. Valued at $600-750. Even when they were common, dramatic pieces such as this were not common at all. 6.3 x 4 x 2 cm
