This large specimen was mined in 1998-1999 from a newer specimen locality near to the more famous Kongsberg Mines, though in the same district. It is a dramatic, arborescent and treelike cluster of solid silver with a mass of 238 grams, that has very impressive display qualities. The piece is crystallized entirely, all around, front and back. I sold this piece perhaps a decade ago, and was happy to see it come back in this collection. It remains the best large example from this mine shaft that I have handled; and since I have seen no more of this quality/style on the market since that time, I would feel pretty confident about handling it again. Since the mine does not have the pedigree of the old King's Mine, nearby, the cost is also much reduced compared to what large Norwegian silvers might normally command. Joe Budd Photos.
