Native Silver with Native Arsenic

Pöhla, Schwarzenberg District, Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany

9.66cm x 5.32cm x 2.8cm

Ex. J. Höppner Collection No. 17014


Description/Interesting Notes:

A magnificent, old time example of native silver from Germany!!! This specimen hosts an exceptionally rich showing of crystalline native silver set in a thick vein of darkly colored native arsenic!!! The crystals exhibit a sharply defined, finely crystallized network of feather-like dendritic crystals!!! The crystals stand out in stark contrast to the darkly colored native arsenic that surrounds it!!! This is a VERY rich, dense, and heavy - weighing a hefty 371g!!! The native silver is bright and showy with a lively metallic brilliance and tin-white to slightly antique hue!!! This specimen displays magnificently from both sides and is very showy in person!!! The pics don't even come close to doing this handsome classic specimen justice!!! This specimen is from the collection of J. Hoppner and retains its original label as well!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY FEBRUARY 10th!!! **We have just returned from the annual Gem & Mineral Show in Tucson, Arizona!!!
