A highly unusual WIRE-like SILVER from Batopilas, in contrast to the more common form we see from historic finds there of sharp, elongated, spinel-twinned crystals. I say "wire-like" because on close inspection this IS the typical crystal form - though unusually thick around the twin center so that it looks wiry instead of crystallized from afar. The wire/crystal in this case is very thick and sturdy, and rises dramatically from calcite matrix. Nice mini! 3.8 x 2.2 x 1.5 cm
